GeoHot left for South America! Not In USA Anymore
George Hotz, better known as GeoHot, is famous for being the first person to hack the iPhone and come out with its jailbreak. Well he is also well known for hacking the Sony Playstation 3 console and breaking the system’s security to enable third party applications and hacks to run on the device without any restrictions. Which this meant for the giant corporation was more piracy on the way as people could very easily install pirated games(which are originally for 50 bucks a piece) and play them on their consoles.
A war has been going on between Sony and GeoHot and Sony seems to be #WINNING. George Hotz is in deep shit with the DMCA, as far as the phone was concerned it wasn’t that big of a deal, people were still gonna buy iPhones and MORE people were developing apps for it. But this hack is lethal for Sony and third party game publishers alike, the games which originally sell for over 60 bucks are now being pirated.
As of today it was reported that GeoHot left USA and is currently in South America. This ensued when the court asked him to hand over his hard disk and everything along with it, he did get paid to hack those devices, the people behind this are still unknown. Let’s see where this story takes GeoHot.
