(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); If you have been keeping yourself informed of the prominent personalities who made a difference in the jailbreak community, then it is safe to say that you should be familiar of George Hotz, popularly known as GeoHot. 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 ??

left facebook and back to sony i don't think so cus he want to get bigger or make new useful stuff for free for the community like he always does he got famous for that why not keep doing it ;0

GH, would be fuc*ed if he did he has signed his name to a agremment with Sony sony would butt rape him bad if he did. for breach of contract

As hinted at earlier in this thread, I don't think GeoHotz will take the same risks he previously did. He'll do some hacking on certain devices, not the PS3, but won't go so far to where he faces legal trouble (unless he is prepared for it). He'd be an idiot to tie himself up with something like that again.
