The US government uses the PS3 for password recovery.

It appears that the US Customs and Immigration and Customs Enforcement Cyber ​​Crimes Center (C3) has replaced the $ 8000 Tableau / Dell servers with a more efficient $ 300 PS3. Each PS3 can pick up passwords at a speed of 4 million passwords / sec, now the C3 already has 20 consoles, and they plan to buy another 40. In fact, the power of these consoles will only be used for computers confiscated with an order, for example, if you suspect child pornography .
