It’s been a while since GeoHot has been mentioned around the jailbreak community, since he picked up his job at Facebook.
Many of us know GeoHot aka Geroge Hotz from some of the great jailbreak tools that he’s released in the past, from the most famous Limera1n to, blackra1n and purplera1n. Some might remember the whole PlayStation fiasco that happened last year. Geohot was sued by Sony, for hacking their famous PS3. This lead to a lawsuit where all Geo’s equipment was seized along with all this data. The case was settled out of court, at which point Geohot moved his career to Facebook.
So what’s been happening to our famous Jailbreak Hacker since then ? Well sources (Business Insider) say that he’s recently been spotted at Backplane’s ‘hackthon’ developing an app in a recent competition. So is Geohot trying to get back to his roots ? Will we see more of GeoHot’s famous ‘ra1n’ software. I hope so.
Soon as we get some more information we’ll pass it along to you.
