If you have a PlayStation, you’re probably aware that the PlayStation Network is facing an epic blackout everywhere with personal information being  compromised of many users. All of this happened after when Geohot got his back sued by Sony over the PlayStation 3 jailbreak fiasco.

Geohot confirmed on his blog that he was not in any case involved in the attack on PSN. He said:

To start, I sure am glad I don’t have a PSN account about now. And, as a onetime victim of identity theft, I feel for everyone who’s data has been stolen. I’m not going to make cracks at Sony for flipping a shit when /their/ data is compromised, and not even having the decency to apologize when it’s your data that’s misappropriated.
And to anyone who thinks I was involved in any way with this, I’m not crazy, and would prefer to not have the FBI knocking on my door. Running homebrew and exploring security on your devices is cool, hacking into someone elses server and stealing databases of user info is not cool. You make the hacking community look bad, even if it is aimed at douches like Sony.

There you have it, if you think Geohot might be the culprit behind the attack, then you better rethink your suspect.
