11:42 Sony has received permission to study the information on your hard disk from the PC hacker geohot | |
Yes, yesterday, Sony Corp. has received official permission to access the hard disk seized from the notorious George Hotz (GeoHot), a hacker compromised the protection of PS3, and posted to the Web root key for the PlayStation 3. It is known that he collaborated with the group of hackers Fail0verflow, which, in fact, and start all this hullabaloo with the jailbreak for the PS3, announced on 27th Chaos Communication Congress 2010 on burglary PS3. Naturally, Sony's gaming console hacking protection did not like the cool, followed by going to court and forfeiture of equipment on which he worked Hotz, including his work PC. U.S. District Judge Susan Illston permit representatives of the Sony Corporation to consider the information contained on the hard disk of the PC hacker. However, the right is limited - provided the corporation are entitled to study only those files that are really relevant to the burglary PS3. That's just not clear who will monitor whether the study is the contents of your hard drive. In fact, the same will not be behind the technical workers Sony stand bailiff and beat their line every time they start learning something, is not permitted by the court? But it may well be that the hard drive of your PC and the hacker can contain any information about members of the group Fail0verflow, which Hotz collaborated. Of course, this is unlikely to do so, but the probability of this exists, and all this information might fall into the hands of the corporation, and then somehow accidentally "float". A guide Sony angry in earnest - the corporation, even demanded that Twitter and Google the names, passwords, secret personal information of users who are considered members of the group Fail0verflow. Fortunately, Twitter and Google follow the principles of preservation of privacy and refused to cooperate with Sony on this issue. Generally speaking, very similar to that provided Sony believe in the possibility of elimination jailbreak from the web, as would be ridiculous as it sounds. By the way, wanted to insert a video where he GeoHot talks about his vision of what is happening, however, instead of video that's what happened: In general, wait, what this is all over.
