As if things weren't interesting enough, images have emerged of what could possibly reassure any PSN member to either act now, or forever realise their personal information is in the hands of the wrong people.
While these only add more fuel to a fire that is out of control, it does make you wonder how far someone will go to con millions of people, just as much as proving that they are indeed selling these details on the black market.
If you're wondering who is the mastermind behind the recent downfall of Sony and their PlayStation Network, you can cross off George "Geohot" Hotz off the list.
He even goes on to put his support behind the Sony engineers, saying that it's not their fault, yet it's the executives who are to blame.
And finally, something that will definitely piss off every single Sony fanboy, as well as those who are ignorant and uneducated when it comes to major security flaws:
While he has claimed his innocence, he will remain to be a target for those who don't know any better. People truly believe that Geohot is the sole reason why Sony decided to take legal action. These people also have forgotten that hundreds of thousands of followers/worshippers/haters personal information was or almost in the hands of Sony, which was and still is invading your privacy. How does one support this, I don't understand.
Hate him or love him, Geohot has a new legion of fans. He also has a new legion of haters. Now, who's next? Because I can sense that Sony, nor the FBI, will find who is the culprit and what it took to crack the "unhackable".
While it isn't confirmed, he has his reasons to believe it is true. He also has his reasons to believe it is false.

It may rub off the wrong way on any hacker, but can you blame him? The doing of one affects an entire community of hackers. Was it a personal grudge? Was this hacker, or group of hackers, setting an example that no hacker should be messed with?
He even goes on to put his support behind the Sony engineers, saying that it's not their fault, yet it's the executives who are to blame.
He even has a word for the person(s) who hacked the PSN.
Does Geohot know something that others don't? Clearly, he is speaking to one person. And come on, he should know better. It was information he posted that got him in trouble, so now he wants the hacker to post how he brought down over 70 million PSN customers?
