Sony Sues fail0verflow & geohot!

Well well well, look at what wee have here.  Well wee kinda seen this one coming.  Today the fail0verflow team and geohot were served with a lawsuit from sony regarding the recent exploit info/tools by fail0verflow and the root key that was released by geohot.  Geohot (being the first one to break news of it) has updated his website to the following:

geohot Wrote:As of 1/11/2011 7:20 PM EST, I have been served with papers, see below...

Motion For TRO

Proposed Order

old front page, with relevant info removed, is here

contact me geohot ... gmail

any legal fund donation things you see are 100% fake as of now, don't get scammed


Not long after, fail0verflow posted on twitter confirming they have revived them as well.

Seems sony is very butthurt over this and do not want to see the PS3 turn out like the PSP, but it could already be to late for them.  The Motion For TRO says there are also 100 more defendants they plan on serving the lawsuit to.   What sony seems to forget is that is was not fail0verflow, nor geohot who enabled piracy, geohot's new 3.55 cfw disables the ability to run back up games (and also disables access to pooking lvl2) and fail0verflow has only informed the public of the flaw in the system for what it is and have yet to release any tools.  Of course though, once the flood gates are open people will make it run back ups and that is what happened with geohots 3.55 cfw, with a few tweaks other hacker were able to run backups from geohot 3.55.



>>  Thoughts????

This just shows Sony can't do anything through network update to fix the problem and stop the PS3 from being hacked.

So Sony needs new hardware PS4 :) Yay

DMCA is one of the stupidest laws IMO.
But if it isn't that, probably at least a scare tactic.

I'm not if the tools have already been released but I think it's too late for Sony to stop it from happening.

They can, but law is on geohot's (and flaivorflow's) side, they did nothing illegal, but sony has lawers, money, and corruption abilities on their side, so its lkely that they will be victorious

EDIT: apparantly i was wrong, need to read stuff better next time

This whole mess needs to be blamed on sony's security developers and not the hackers.

Oh it cracks me up to think of why people started to do this spoon to the ps3, it is sony's fault for deleting other os, but seriously, sony removed all homebrew, only to crack the ps3 so wide open to homebrew that they can't fix it XD

I'll only say that their real good security measure was to have otheros in there, that gave a reason for the skilled hackers not to work. less than a minute ago via web

Perhaps if they led us run our code on consoles wee purchased, those would never have been hacked.... 12 minutes ago via web

They should just suck it up, face the truth and tell their licensees how they screwed up their console's security implementation. 8 minutes ago via web

Oh! and they should hire decent security engineers (like hackers) rather than suing them, at least that'd have some form of effectiveness. 7 minutes ago via web
