"The Sony PS3 console was hacked, or more appropriately "jailbroken", by iPhone hacker, Geohot. He managed to reverse engineer his own PlayStation 3 to run homebrew applications on it. He then later released the method to the public through his site, geohot.com. Sony responded with a lawsuit and demanded social media sites, including YouTube,[citation needed] to hand over IP addresses of people who visited Geohot's social pages and videos.
PayPal has granted Sony access to Geohot's PayPal account,[citation needed] and the judge of the case granted Sony permission to view the IP addresses of everyone who visited geohot.com."
