A U.S. judge has ruled that George Hotz, made famous by his hacking against the PlayStation 3, will hand over your hard drive to Sony so that it can be analyzed. Sony is therefore authorized to use the information contained therein in the hope that they can help to stem the problem created. The twenty-one, better known as GeoHot, was the first to succeed in the difficult task to penetrate the PlayStation 3, but the fact that he published his jailbreak code on your site, and a video tutorial on how to exploit it led him to be reported by the Japanese giant.
Sony has also threatened to sue anyone who is raising online jailbreak Hotz. The attempt by the company to sue Google, YouTube, Twitter, Squidoo and PayPal that identifies individual resident of hackers working on PS3, however, was denied. Judge Illston issued a second request for the March 11 when the parties will be heard again.
Sony talks about untold damage and consequently is unlikely to let the matter drop until you have every possible path or that it has obtained what he said would be a fair compensation.
