This news is actually not all that surprising. Many hackers join corporate payrolls after being caught, using their skills to help companies improve network security and develop and test new software. After losing his battle against Sony in April, it makes sense that Hotz might want to get out of the hacking business for awhile.
While some have raised their eyebrows at this move by Facebook, Hotz isn’t the first hacker Facebook has hired. Christ Putnam joined their ranks after building several Facebook worms. Now that they have recently confirmed that they are working on a new iPad app, who better to hire to help develop it than the guy who made a name for himself hacking Apple’s iDevices?
