It wasn't a hack. It was a handshake.
When you purchase and download a game from the official PSN store directly onto a physical PS Vita console, the work.bin license is generated and stored within the game's data. The console checks for this license every time you launch the game. The work.bin file ensures that the game is legitimate and that you have the right to play it, which is essential for the emulator to correctly decrypt and run the game data. Without this license file, the encrypted game files are essentially useless to Vita3K.
