3DS homebrew exploit
On July 27, 2015, Jordan "Smealum" Rabet, the developer of the Cubic Ninja exploit, announced a new version of the homebrew exploit, with the same features. On July 31, Rabet confirmed that the game the exploit was found in was IronFall: Invasion.[11] On August 11, Nintendo temporarily removed the app from the eShop, as to prevent the exploit from spreading too far.[12] Six days later, Rabet released his exploit. On October 13, IronFall: Invasion returned to the eShop with "Update Data", which prevented the exploit from being used. As of January 15, 2016, the exploit has been patched on system menu 10.4.0-29 which released the same day. When trying to load the game IronFall: Invasion the system does not let you use it until you update the software, which forces you to download the update that patched IronFall: Invasion back in mid-October, rendering the exploit unusable.[13]
