(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Infamous hardware hacker George Francis Hotz, a.k.a. GeoHot, gives his thoughts on Sony's role in the ongoing PSN crisis and outlines why personal data was at risk in this case rather than other system hacks.

George Francis Hotz, commonly known as GeoHot, the hacker most widely recognized for cracking the Apple iPhone and Sony's PlayStation 3 -- the latter activity invoking Sony's legal wrath -- recently posted his own thoughts about the PSN crisis at his online blog.
PS3 Hacker GeoHot Calls Sony Executives Crazy, ArrogantClaiming no responsibility for the current incident, Hotz instead established his formal position on the PSN attack, insinuating that the hackers responsible make the modding community at large look bad. Hotz also took Sony's executives to task, stating that the engineers within the company were not at fault. Instead, Hotz implied that Sony's higher-ups provoked the hacking/modding community with arrogant attitudes and poor technical practices.

"Now until more information is revealed on the technicals, I can only speculate, but I bet Sony's arrogance and misunderstanding of ownership put them in this position. Sony execs probably haughtily chuckled at the idea of threat modeling.

Sony needs to accept that they no longer own and control the PS3 when they sell it to you. Notice it's only PSN that gave away all your personal data, not Xbox Live when the 360 was hacked, not iTunes when the iPhone was jailbroken, and not GMail when Android was rooted. Because other companies aren't crazy.":tits:

I can read and it basically is......except the thread made earlier has more/better info.

Nice post!

I :love: Geohot :tits:

i wont buy another product from sony from shops i wont support them in anyway, they are a massive let down and as somneone said:



they are liars, they misslead us and they could have said at the earlist opportunity that our details had been compromised but instead they lied, there is no excuse for this as they could have been taking a shit sitting on the toilet and uploaded an article on their website saying that the hackers had our details, ther eis no excuse why they didnt tell us earlier. F**K Sony ill continue to play PSN only reason for that is cos my family (siblings etc) play PSN and not XBL. thanks for reading if you agree please like,
