[ALL] Next Gen Console Informant Shares His Story After His Home Raided by Authorities

[padman59]

Remember this story where a guy going by DaE allegedly had a Durango dev kit and tried to sell it on eBay? Well, the FBI finally caught up to him a few days ago at his home in Australia.

Kotaku shares his story, and it's pretty interesting. I'd copy it here, but it's pretty long.

TL;DR - Guy was able to hack into multiple developers' systems looking for info on new games and eventually obtains information on the next Xbox and Playstation and even how to order dev kits. Also discovers backdoors into Microsoft's systems to the point where (he claims) he can easily find account info and even turn off some of Microsoft's servers. FBI and local police raid his home and confiscate related evidence.

They shouldn't prosecute him. They should do everything in their power to hire him.

Wait, Maynard said no one can hack MS because their paid service is so secure. Hmmm...

Did he expect anything else?
