Now Sony Gets Access to PS3 Hacker's PayPal Records

So, first up a judge awards Sony access to Geohot's website and visitor IPs and now access to the PS3 hacker's PayPal accounts has been granted too.

According to Wired, "A federal magistrate said Sony may subpoena the PayPal account of PlayStation 3 hacker George Hotz, as the gamemaker ratchets up its civil lawsuit against the man who released the first full-fledged PS3 jailbreak in the console’s four-year history."

So, Sony now has access to data from YouTube, Google, Twitter and PayPa linked to George Hotz (aka Geohot as if you didn't know).

In terms of the PayPal access, Joseph Spero in San Francisco (who also opened up the site and IP issue) has allowed Sony to access “documents sufficient to identify the source of funds in California that went into any PayPal account associated with geohot@gmail.com for the period of January 1, 2009, to February 1, 2011."
