Those of you who have been jailbreaking for a while will undoubtedly know George “GeoHot” Hotz, the guy who brought to us the very first iPhone unlock, back in 2008. Since then, GeoHot developed several jailbreaks, including purplera1n, blackra1n, and limera1n.

Then in 2011, GeoHot was sued by Sony for jailbreaking the PlayStation 3. The matter was quickly settled out of court, and GeoHot started working for Facebook shortly after.

Things are moving along for GeoHot though. According to Business Insider, he recently quit his position at Facebook. So what is he doing now?

It’s not clear what GeoHot is up to these days, but he was spotted at a hackthon where he competed with a bunch of other people on developing an app. He didn’t win, but that’s not really important.

What’s important here is that GeoHot might be back in the scene, and who knows, he might even be already working on discovering new exploits.

We’ll be sure to let you know if we hear anything new coming from him, so stay tuned!

Supposedly he quit Facebook to take up employment on a project called "Backplane", which is some kind of new social networking site for celebrities, part funded by Lady Gaga.

I find your comment ignorant! GeoHot is a, no, THE LEGEND in this community. He has groomed a trail that should be if not already in the history books. Our future society should read of this boy/man in the history books. I don't see it likely that you have not jailbroken an iphone or ipod touch. Not if your cruisen through these forums. And with that said, appology excepted.

U can suck my apology and go get arrested smoking pot with the fgt . How's tht? Lololololololololol

You guys get hyped up over nothing. Maybe he was at a hackathon because he felt like doing something at a hackathon. Until he ACTUALLY releases some sort of info about working on iDevices, dont care about Geohot. As PigPox said, if you are gonna follow is every move, just smoke pot with the kid.
