True, I was reading about this a few days ago, another example of how crackers with little skill have to ruin the fun of less technologically advanced users.

However msg_plus_freak was talking mainly about the new 2.50 build upgrade (for Japanese PSPs), not recommending the downgrade hacks to 1.50 (which can be just PSPBrick in disguise if downloaded from an unrepeatable source).

However even with that in mind I'd just like to make an addition to what CookieRevised has said - even though PSPBrick trojan seems to be mainly bundled with the unofficial hacks for the PSP, it is very likely that they're either redesign (or just rename) the trojan to make it look like it's the official upgrade to 2.50. Therfore it is wise to only download firmware upgrades from the official Sony website.

I believe you have misunderstood the article. The 2.50 Firmware will ship on new PSPs in the future, also you will be able to update your already bought PSP to the 2.50 build. It is possible that shops will allow you to take your PSP in and they will update it for you for a small price (as a service to those without internet connections) but yes, the 2.50 build can be updated by the internet.
