Apple, Sony, Geohot

Back in 2007 George shared a video on YouTube with a jailbroken iPhone, and it was viewed over 2 million times. The hacker was noticed by newspapers and even emailed by Steve Wozniak. Apple, however, paid no attention to what Hotz did, besides, it wasn’t illegal and NCK code unlock became not so popular in the end. Sony did when the jailbreaker hacked their secured and fully locked PlayStation 3 in 2009. He hacked PS 3 because he was bored, but the company didn’t forgive it when George shared the exploit he created with the public and let everyone in the world be able to use the root keys of the PlayStation shared by Hotz. This was the beginning of “Geohot Sony court” case.
