He became a household name in the jailbreaking community because he was the first to ever unlock the first iPhone. He also became notorious after jailbreaking the Playstation 3 which entangled him to a legal battle with Sony. After a long while, he was employed by no other than social networking behemoth, Facebook. Apparently now, Geohot has left Facebook and he's back to what he does best, hacking.



Famous hacker geohot (aka George Hotz) has quit Facebook! Only 7-months into his employment with Facebook, he has returned to the hacking scene. If you recall, prior to his employment there, he was grilled by Sony for hacking the PS3 console. So that begs the question, will geohot return to hacking the PS3?

Business Insider was able to catch up to Geohot last Saturday at Backplane, a hackathon funded by Lady Gaga. Hotz jokingly introduced himself as the hacker who got sued by Sony. So what's he up to at that certain event? It is not known what's the relationship or role of Geohot at the Lady Gaga funded hackathon, but he did built an app along with other people that allows the user to view their Facebook friends on the map. Hotz helped in improving the looks of the map and coded it so the app can filter the results by gender. In the end, the app didn't win in the event.



is he out to get revenge on sony ??

Death is hereditary
No, no he wont, not because of the agreement but its just not him. What I learnt about him is that he does somthing and starts it off aka the unsigned packages and leaves it and lets other people grab hold of it and improve it while he goes off and starts somting else. He always starts it but he never finishes it
