This has always been the case with homebrew/jailbreak scenes, from the PSP to the PS3/PS4, to iOS, etc.

There will always be squabbles among the different people and groups involved with finding exploits or developing jailbreak/"hack" "kits".

Following from that, there will also always be people who want to jailbreak only to pirate games and there will also be groups who want to disclose the exploits properly, or use them purely for research and non-piracy fun purposes.

For example, in the ps3 scene:

Someone developed a exploit, packaged it in usb stick, called it the PSJailbreak, planning to sell it to as a piracy orientated tool. They sent out a few review copies to prove it worked.

One of the reviews obtained a USB trace of the exploit in action, passing it along to a few members of the homebrew scene. The homebrew scene recreated this exploit with an open source implementation (but with the ability to pirate games pirate games superficially patched out) beating the original PSJailbreak to market.

The homebrew scene then set upon developing an open source homebrew devkit.

Many manufactures released their own clone devices of the exploit, the timeframe susgests that they were also working from copies of the PSJailbreak.

It was the homebrew scene who later decimated the PS3 chain of trust, to develop installable modded firmware.

These squabbles are as old as home computing.

Just check out the amount of name calling and whatsnot thats put into those cracktros that can be traced at least back to the C64.

To say nothing of internecine squabbles between partisans of various home computers. C64 r00lz and Spectrum dr00lz (or vice versa). About the only platform that everyone can agree on is that the PC suxx0rz.
