Sony Corporation has filed lawsuits against Geohot (aka George Hotz) and the fail0verflow team for making PlayStation 3 exploits and jailbreak tools public.

After releasing PS3 root keys publicly this week, the famous iPhone hacker George Hotz (aka Geohot) is back today with an update on his site, that reads “I made a video”. The video shows a jailbroken PlayStation 3 on the latest 3.55 firmware, running homebrew.
A few days ago, a small group of German hackers called fail0verflow found an exploit that could completely open up the PlayStation 3 console.

October figures from the NPD group states that the Xbox 360 has been the best selling console in the U.S. for the fifth month straight, with an impressive 325,000 units sold, compared to the PlayStation 3's 250,000 and the Nintendo Wii’s 232,000. Microsoft boasts total sales of 3.5 million units to date having been the only console to sell more units each successive year.
This is starting to look like one of those classic cat and mouse games that passionate hackers and manufacturers often like to play: Sony keeps patching holes in its firmware that allow jailbreaking, while the jailbreaking community finds new ones to thwart Sony’s plans.
