    LulzSec, the 6-man hacking group ended their 50 days reign of “hackery” but after revealing/embarrassing/corrupting/exposing numerous corporations/governments/servers, the guys came with one last act of mischief.

    They once again published confidential data recovered from their latest attack. One prominent folder is titled “AT&T.” other dumped files were leaked from AOL, Disney, Universal, EMI and the FBI.

    Digging through the data, the guys over at iFans have come across some interesting information. The internal AT&T documents reveal that the carrier is planning to roll out their new LTE network in the first week of July, and more ineterstingly hinting at what seems to be an LTE-capable iPad.

    If you’re up for it, the leaked presentation is embedded here. The LTE iPad is mentioned on page 4.

    Pre-LTE scenarios. Testing will include iPad new activations HLS using the new rate plan, as well as a regression on netbooks and dongles. During validation E2E execution should ensure all functionality new and current is still functioning properly by validating account set up, provision, usage and notifications.

    Apple’s 3rd iteration of their popular tablet line is expected to be a major upgrade, with speculation suggesting everything from a Retina display to LTE capabilities.

    LulzSec, short for Lulz Security, the hacker group behind hacking the CIA, U.S. Senate, Nintendo, Sony and others. They took down the CIA’s website, hacked Sony’s servers, released sensitive documents from the Arizona state government and attacked the U.S. Senate’s website. While a suspected member of LulzSec was recently apprehended, the group claims he was not its leader.

    The team claim that they intended to only operate for 50 days as an attempt to revive the AntiSec movement, which is opposed to the computer security industry.

  • iPhone and PS3 Hacker George Hots ‘GeoHot’ Now Works For Facebook

    June 26, 2011 // Gradly // Apple, blog, Facebook, Featured, Gadgets, iPhone, Jailbreak, News, PS3, Rants & Raves, Rumors Tags: @p0isixNinja, blog, Facebook, Geohot, George Hots, Hacker, iPhone, Jailbreak, Limera1n, News, PS3, rumors No Responses


    Hacker George Hotz ‘GeoHot’, who recently settled a lawsuit with Sony for publishing a PlayStation 3 crack online, now works for Facebook. His exact position with the company is unclear, but he may be on a the development team tasked with building the social network’s new Pad app.

    Geohot reportedly started working for Facebook last month but the announcement was made on 17th June only to be discovered today.

    According to iDB:

    We were just tipped off by the folks at Tech Unwrapped that George Hotz is now working for Facebook. Needless to say that I was a bit skeptical about the news and when I inquired for more details, I was pointed to GeoHot’s very own Facebook profile where he confirms that he is indeed working for Facebook…

    According to Gabe Rivera, GeoHot started working for Facebook in May, but he only announced it on June 17. If you have a look at his Facebook profile, it’s pretty clear that he is not joking.

    Hacker Joshua Hill, aka @p0isixNinja, who said in a recent interview that Hotz had made the move. Hill reportedly challenged Hotz to a iPad 2 jailbreak duel. Watch the live Q&A session:

    Geohot is a well-known for having originally unlocked the iPhone for use on wireless carriers other than AT&T and also for hacking into Sony’s PlayStation 3 console back in January and later sued by Sony. The case settled later in April.

    GeoHot is also known for iOS jailbreaking using a bootrom exploit found since iOS 4.1. The jailbreak tool called Limera1n and still in use since then.

    Apple has released iOS 5 beta 2 for all iDevices, below all the needed links, but keep in mind that your iDevice need to be activated, developers only or those who have their UDID activated. Otherwise it won’t work. Use them at your own risk.

    In order to use .dmg on windows, simply change the extension from .dmg to .ipsw and it will work. No need to download extra software.

  • iOS 5 Beta 1 Expires on August 4th

    June 19, 2011 // Gradly // Apple, blog, Download, Featured, Gadgets, How To, iPad, iPhone, Jailbreak, News, Rants & Raves Tags: Apple, Beta, blog, Download, Expiry, iOS 5, iPad, iPhone, iPod, News, Time-bomb, UDID No Responses


    If you installed iOS 5 beta 1 on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, It’s good to know that beta 1 has a time-bomb and is going to expire on August 4th.

    This won’t be an issue for developers or those with proper access to the newest beta releases from iOS Dev Center as they can upgrade to the newest betas as they become available from Apple. This leaves those who had a friend activate their UDID or who used the VoiceOver tweak to run iOS 5 on an iPhone without a dev account – this could very well effect you. If you are running the beta without a dev account, I suggest downgrading from iOS 5 beta before this becomes a potential problem, you don’t want to be stuck with a useless iPhone on August 5th.

    The expiration date was discovered and tweeted by jailbreak developer @ih8sn0w:

    iOS 5 official release is slated for this Fall
