Old-time sceners have been chatting recently, and they saying its basically GAME OVER for Microsoft, the Xbox One, is now owned by 'hackers' and this currently unreleased exploit allows to get all keys out of 'silicon die', and the only way out is for Microsoft to roll-out new hardware to block their access.

"Let's just say it's already done," according to one poster in the chatroom. Claiming that he's got "great news for Xbox One hacking." "We will see examples within the following months... right now is the discovery phase, development must be done," reads the log which can be found on Paste Bin. "Think of the most radical situation that could have possibly happened. The thing that would most hurt the security. That's what happened." The post alludes that the keys needed to sign files for the Xbox One have been discovered, and that to stop the exploit, Microsoft would need to roll out new hardware to combat it. "Xbox One full homebrew will likely be a reality in a short time," the conversation concludes. While the post offered very little proof when it comes to the bold claims that were made, there's no doubt a large community of modders and hackers that are looking for a homebrew solution on the Xbox One. If true, homebrew won't be the only thing we'll be seeing on the Xbox One in the near future. The ability to run unsigned code on the console would likely lead to piracy on the Xbox One. Piracy is a problem that Microsoft has been combating on their consoles for years. Modified disc drives on the Xbox 360 allowed players to play pirated games on the console, which Microsoft fought through numerous updates and storage changes. Console mods like JTAG wrought havoc in multiplayer games, like Call of Duty, which allowed cheaters to host modified lobbies and other unsanctioned activities on Xbox Live.

Here is the full 'pastebin' chat log incase it gets removed soon:
