People might not remember, but around this time last year there was a massive news story breaking involving Sony and this person who went by the handle of GeoHot (real name George Hotz). Long story short, George managed to hack the Sony system to give people direct root access to the system—something that basically means that it can emulate whatever the user wants. There was a lawsuit, some additional hacking to the network in protest, and it all ended up with George getting a great job at Facebook to try and make sure the same thing didn’t happen there.

Well just this week Mr. Hotz sat down with a large group of engineers to talk about what they could do to make Sony, their network, and future products even safer. Interestingly enough GeoHot has received enough notoriety since the lawsuit that this meeting alone warranted an interview with some rather important newspapers (namely The New York Post). Directly after this case broke Hotz was quoted repeatedly saying that he would be more than happy to go and work with Sony to try and prevent this kind of thing from happening, and as odd as that sounds that kind of thing is what ends up happening 9 times out of 10 with these kinds of events.

Oh and if people are thinking this is geohot trying to get into sony HQ to get the new exploit around the console well you have another thing coming sony will make him sign a contract obviously today in this world if you work for the security of the software & hardware of any console/computer or machine on this earth you will need a contract stating a fine print saying "You fuck with us we fuck with you" not really that but im sure the message would be clear.....

But what you're trying to achieve here is to piss them off

Why because he wont jb the ps3 so you can host your call of duty lobbies :ha!:

Hes Already Been Sued By Sony. If You Didnt Know That.xDD

He was never sued they settled out of court..

Read the thread then read the post's.....

i'll send him a ps3 :carling:

I am just saying, but I am pretty sure if any of you were offered a job at sony with a nice big pay cheque you would accept it, not create another firmware for a games console created for entertainment?

tbh i think it was just a rumor geohot would never help any1 because he believes if we want to jb our ps3,ipod,iphone or anything that can be done then you should be allowed to do it. Also that would mean unlifting the ps3 ban of him so if he quits a few weeks after he could jb it again

that dirty traitor..... :despise:

If Geo does help Sony fix their swiss-cheese security, i will have lost any remaining respect for him that i still have.
