Xbox One Hacked: Voltage Glitch Exploit Breaks Years of Security At the RE//verse 2026 conference, security researcher Markus 'Doom' Gaasedelen demonstrated a hardware exploit named 'Bliss' that successfully compromised the Xbox One console, which had been considered unhackable since its release in 2013. The exploit utilizes a voltage glitching technique that manipulates the power supply during the boot process, allowing unauthorized code execution and access to the system's security processor. This method specifically targets the original Xbox One model, leaving subsequent models like the Xbox One S and Xbox Series unaffected. Gaasedelen's approach marks a significant breakthrough in console security, as it undermines the hardware-level defenses that Microsoft had established. The hack is deemed unpatchable, providing attackers with full control over the console, including the ability to run unsigned code and access encrypted data. Gaasedelen has a history of research in Xbox security, emphasizing that his work aims to preserve console functionality rather than promote piracy. 5 sources 62
