Microsoft's New Employee - The 14 Year Old Who Hacked X-Box

From the article:

"When Hotz broke into Sony's network so that he could play PlayStation 2 games on the PlayStation 3 console, he was committing a crime, but it wasn't one that hurt Sony in any significant way."

What utter drivel. Hotz never did any such thing. The Atlantic needs to get some fact checkers.

Wasn't that kid interviewed recently as part of a team working on a two day hacker competition or something? I think it got posted on HN.

As the comment there says, this is fake.
