Geohot Ordered To Hand His Computer’s Hard Drive Over To Sony!!!

According to Wired, Geohot has been ordered by U.S. District Judge Susan Illston to provide Sony with his computer’s hard drive so that Sony  may comb through his computer’s hard drive and retrieve information “that relates to the hacking of the PlayStation,”. As you may know, Sony sued the 21 year old hacker after he successfully hacked PlayStation 3 and published the hacking tools online. 
Even though Geohot’s attorney, Stewart Kellar did try to block Sony from gaining access to GeoHot's hard drive, the judge ruled that:

“Here, I find probable cause that your client has got these things on his computer,” she said. “It’s a problem when more than one thing is kept on the computer. I’ll make sure the order is and will be that Sony is only entitled to isolate … the information on the computer that relates to the hacking of the PlayStation.”

Of course nobody knows what information, code or otherwise Sony will be looking for or indeed what they will find when they are let loose with the drive in question, but I think it’s probably fair to say they aren’t looking for cooking recipes. Either way, this could end up being a pivotal moment for the PS3 hacking scene.
