It seems Sony wasn't content with just go after PS3 developers. Today, they have started a ban campaign against end users, who have been found to be hacking Call of Duty: Black Ops. Based on the message that users are receiving, it appears the users are being banned permanently from the Call of Duty Black Ops servers. Please note these don't seem to be PSN bans, but only bans regarding the COD servers.

Here is what PS3News had to say on the matter:
Previously the possibility of PSN bans was rumored for PlayStation 3 hackers, and today Ripten.com has confirmed that CoD: Black Ops PS3 hackers are now being hit with the PS3 Firmware 3.56 ban hammer.
To quote: Explained by Sony as a “security update” its effects are being felt by accused modders/hackers. CoD: BlOps hackers are getting hit hardest with a permanent console ban – many of whom have expressed their “innocence” on the official PS3 CoD: Black Ops Forums.
It’s not limited to a few. There are dozens of threads about this topic. Here are just a few of their posts:
