Do you think that Sony will let hackers mess with the Playstation 3 consoles? Do you think that the lawsuit filed against geohot in the USA will not give rise to similar measures in Europe or on other continents? I'm sorry to inform you, but here's how Sony won't let up until they hold accountable all the hackers who exploit the PS3 operating system. The last victim of the company is a known hacker with the nickname graf_chokolo whose house in Germany was searched by the German police at the request of the Sony company. Of course, a court decision was obtained, but a representative of Sony together with the German police entered the hacker's house and confiscated all the computer equipment.
"Guys, SONY was today at my home with the police and got all my stuff and accounts. So be careful from now on."
The hacker managed to upload his entire database of exploits and the documentation for their use to the Internet, but shortly after publishing the links to it, he received a letter from a Sony lawyer asking him to delete it that internet database. If he refuses to do this, Sony will take him to court, asking for compensation amounting to 1 million euros.
To be honest, Sony is taking things much too far, it reacted much more harshly than Apple or Microsoft in front of this situation and I don't know if what these hackers are doing is so serious that they resort to home searches and the demand for excessively large compensations .
