I encountered my first hacker on PS3 recently as well.
They did something to prevent their health from draining, and I'm confident it wasn't lag nor negated-backstab-damage. I was a summoned phantom in co-op, and the connection appeared to be quite stable. We did several backstabs, various weapon slashes, pyromancy... couldn't kill the guy.
We were able to take the player's health down about half way initially, but it was then followed by a series of attacks where all of the hits that probably should've killed the player wound up doing nothing.
He was also wearing some Elite Cleric Armor. I didn't get his PSN, I was too distracted. He was already in the world of the host when I was summoned. If he wound up in recently met players, I wouldn't have known which one he would've been.
