There are several risks to using MLTActivator. The main one, that the authors have made very clear in their release, is that you should not access any official PS Vita service (such as the PSN) once it is activated. They say this will guarantee you get a ban from Sony. | |||
MLTActivator works by swapping your account files with those of an activated account. This means that some of your apps, etc… will not work anymore, as they are associated to another account.

Utility that activates your system offline using files from another account and device. Do not use the system online or you'll get a ban.
What is MLTActivator?
Roughly around the time of the release of Henkaku Ensou, Sony made a drastic change to the activation process of the PS Vita. as a result of this change, people not running the latest firmware have been unable to activate their PS Vita. This triggered warnings from hackers that people should back up their activation files as soon as possible, to avoid any bad surprise. However, some people discovered the problem the hard way, and ended up with their Vita not activated.
For owners of hacked PS Vita, this meant, among other issues, that Adrenaline (the popular tool that lest you run a PSP Custom Firmware within your PS Vita) could not run properly.
Although TheFlow has promised an upcoming version of Adrenaline will work without activation, this has left several users looking for a new solution in the meantime.
That solution, as of today, is MLTActivator, which people have confirmed lets them activate their PS Vita offline, and run Adrenaline.
In particular, developer Joonie86, of Rebug fame, has confirmed that MLTActivator worked.

What are the risks of MLTActivator?
There are several risks to using MLTActivator. The main one, that the authors have made very clear in their release, is that you should not access any official PS Vita service (such as the PSN) once it is activated. They say this will guarantee you get a ban from Sony.
MLTActivator works by swapping your account files with those of an activated account. This means that some of your apps, etc… will not work anymore, as they are associated to another account. The same is true for your QCMA linked account. Also the developers mention that the app might have to format your memory card in some rare cases. Because of this it is only recommended for people who have a console that is not activated, and cannot wait for the upcoming Adrenaline release.

As we’ve seen a few times in the history of homebrew, any app that manipulates and reads your account information could be bad news, so use at your own risk here. I have not personally tested the app (my PS Vita’s sitting in some warehouse in a harbor at the moment).
