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.....

I would
You would be stupid to pass up making some money

Geo never did CFW to allow kids to pirate games just to take up the challenge. People appear to forget that

Oh the Irony, I'm sure I remember him saying not too many weeks ago that he wanted to get back into the PS3 hacking scene? Is this his plan?

This is 2 month old news. :|

I wouldn't help anybody who sued me. No matter how much money is involved. He should have some dignity and go against them.

same story like stars wars,that luke sky walker changed hgodwhy:

So much for atanding in what you believe this time last year he was goung all out against sony and standing for what he believes was true now he just kisses sony ass

he could be using this to get inside to get more info and the keys he needs to crack the firmware maybe or something either that or he,s a sell out **** if he,s selling everyone out i just cant believe this!

Anyone who says they wouldn't take the job is an idiot who doesn't know shit about the real world. Get out of your fucking house and get your priorities straight.

Good chance for GeoHot to get some cash outa all this. :p
