On March 28, 2010, Sony responded by announcing their intention to release a PlayStation 3 firmware update that would remove the OtherOS feature from all models, a feature that was already absent on the newer Slim revisions of the machine. On January 26, 2010, Hotz released the exploit to the public. On January 22, 2010, he announced that he had performed his first achievement consisting of read and write access to the machine's system memory as well as hypervisor level access to the machine's CPU. In December 2009, Hotz announced his initial intentions to breach security on the PlayStation 3. Nevertheless, he continued to release new software-based jailbreak techniques until October 2010. On July 13, 2010, Hotz announced the discontinuation of his jailbreaking activities, citing demotivation over the technology and the unwanted personal attention. It was compatible with all iPhone and iPod Touch devices running iOS 3.1.2. In October 2009, Hotz released blackra1n. He traded his second unlocked 8 GB iPhone to Terry Daidone, the founder of CertiCell, for a Nissan 350Z and three 8 GB iPhones. In August 2007, seventeen-year-old George Hotz became the first person reported to remove the SIM lock on an iPhone.
