Is it safe to have a jailbroken PS3 connected to the internet?

ok thanks, that was my big worry, i guess i could just buy another ylod ps3 for 40 bucks on craigslist and use that until it gets banned..
i have never done anything like this before to a console, so i really want to try it out and see how it works. the most i have done is simple things like different roms on my android phones,

Not necessary. If you really want to be safe, and all you want to do is access the internet (not PSN), then do what I did. Change your console id. There is software out there that can do this for you. Just remember to write down your original console id. After that set it to all zeros. If you ever want to get back on PSN, just restore your old console id. Boom.

I'm just curious, if you've never connected your PS3 to the internet, why are you so scared of getting banned?

i think i will look into that, i mostly use mine for netflix and some online bf3. but we have a 2nd ps3 in the main room i could just use strictly for online games i guess
