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.....

Well when it comes down to the choice (Money or 11 - 17 year olds asking for new cfw) Im not saying i would but imagine how annoying it would be especially 1 year later....

He loves the $$$ from facebook now :p

im afraid not if he is to try and hack another sony device he would get sued and sent to jail the next time he did!

if you "want"

good on the lad :y:

LOL me hosting my lobbies?
I had 3.41 Jailbreak so fuck 3.55 i wish it was never invented yea i unlocked my console and hosted lobbies but thats because i spent $400 on a console that was rare at the time then $100 + $50 for my jailbreak along with an external HDD that had a few games so dont say fuck me because i spent clean hard earned money on something that kids got free....

wow all i got to say is why would you stand up for the peole and just stick by what he said when he said and i quote "this is just really for the freedom to do what you want with you systems" "if you bought it you should be able to do what ever with it"!!

Shows what a little bit of money can change peoples minds....

Damn that sucks now we wont expect a new cfw from him ever since he's gonna start working for sony
