PS3 Hacker ‘Geohot’ Flees To South America

The bizarre story of George ‘geohot’ Hotz, the hacker who Sony are suing for making the PS3’s security key public, has taken an even stranger twist. According to a court document filed by Sony, after Hotz was ordered to hand over his hack related hard drives: “Hotz had deliberately removed integral components of his impounded hard drives prior to delivering them to a third party neutral and…Hotz is now in South America, an excuse for why he will not immediately provide the components of his hard drives as requested by the neutral. Hotz’s attempts to dodge this Court’s authority raise very serious questions.” Hotz has fled and South America is quite a big place…
