Sony has issued subpoenas to Google and Twitter for various information related to accounts believed to be held by members of the fail0verflow hacking team. Hacking community site has got hold of documents which show the requests which aim to reveal if all of the relevant details of the case have been fully disclosed.
The now famous hacker, George Hotz was successfully legally restrained but Sony believes that others are still doing so. Sony believes that by obtaining account information from the companies it has subpoenaed it will be able to track down further members of the team responsible and prosecute them.
According to the said documents, the subpoenas will allow Sony to “identify the Fail0verflow Defendants and other culpable entities so appropriate action can be taken against them for the distribution of the illegal circumvention devices.”
