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.....

reznet u noooooob lol

No, because he was willing to put himself on the line so we could have freedom with our systems but then some money came along and he's doing the opposite. That's why.

lol the cfw kids out there have lost thier messiah, geo wasn't the only one that exploited the ps3 and the cfw wasn't just down to him either.

Hell you didn't even need cfw to host them lobbies that brought most members here

What do you mean all great Afcchamps

Put himself on the line he wasn't the only one who jb the ps3 you do know that he had a team :dumb:

He was still on the line wasn't he? My point is still perfectly valid. If GeoHotz works for Sony then he's a hypocrite who's word means nothing.

You're all stupid. George is what, 20 something now? All of you dumbfounded kids commenting about how he'll break into Sony HQ, and crack, and release shit to the public, you're stupid, and childish. Do you realize how much a security job would pay, and pay for upkeep if he actually brought a form of 'intelligent security' to the Sony platform? These fags all across the world claiming they've jailbroken the system since....Really? :dumb:

Where's the proof? Besides some dumb Twitter posts. This boy is a man now, and for all we know, he cracked their system in hopes some day this kind of ordeal would happen. Once they realize his talent, they'd be a fool not to learn from him. I'm happy for the young man, and I hope he continues strong.

He is not a hypocrite he has grown up and needs a job whats the point in him jb the ps3 again when all people would use it for is to host lobbies on call of duty. Also how does his word mean nothing he did jb the ps3 and released it at a risk and now people are getting all mad that he wont do it again.I think you need to grown up and realize he isn't going to sit at home jobless so he can jb a console, so people like you wont think he is a hypocrite even though he doesn't know :ha!: you..
