(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.

well i think tht video was givin out b4 he quit facebook but he has left facebook

Damn straight.

dnt get ur hopes up we know hes left facebook but and we know he wants revenge on sony but he may not go on ps3 hacking again

Highly doubt he'll mod here again because if he did he could be put in jail since he signed a contract saying he won't ever own a sony device ever again.

tbf it doesnt say what the students built so

He won't go near the PS3 again... hes basically signed an agreement that he can't. I doubt he would risk coming back into the scene in case of more legal claims from Sony. Logic is a gift friend. Don't let it get clouded by "ZOMG CFW, HACKZ ON COD ANDPIRACY ON PS3 AGAIN!!!!!!"
