If he doesn't want to release it, then that's his choice. No one can force him to do otherwise. If you want the hack, then go hack it yourself.

Personally, I'd like him to send the information to Sony to see what happens. If they thank him and close up the hole, then that's fine. If they decide to attack him, then I hope the masses attack back even more.

sorry but I meant release the exploit, not the information about the existence of it.

I've seen some tools released by Anonymous on the psx-scene. They were accepted by the community. I don't really see the difference in this particular case.

In the same way it's possible to identify different handwriting, it's possible to identify coding styles, and the guy's already under Sony's eye. Proxies do not provide anonymity when you're dealing with large corporations, who can get permission to get the logs from all ISPs involved and confirm the connection.

The guy's not releasing it because he doesn't want to get sued.

Anybody that's complaining is free to hack it themselves and release it.

Even though I wish he would release this I understand why he won't. Someone else will inevitably find it and release it though.

He's going to get legally fucked for even suggesting that the PS3 can be hacked again.

I'm disappointed. He could have blackmailed Sony with this (e.g., 'Drop the lawsuits or we release a new hack'), but it seems it's too late now.
