Maxxuss - The OS X Hacker - Has Disappeared

osx86project.org — Maxxuss, the loved and despised hacker who brought OS X to thousands of PC owners, is gone. Some think Apple hired him, others that he was finally caught. Or maybe he’s just taking a (very long) break. Regardless of what you think of him, it’s a curious development in Apple’s Intel story.

  • Chaucer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Um, yeah. Don't know if you heard about the whole thing. It was a small news item - you might have missed it. Um....

    He made it easy to install OS X on a PC.
  • Retrograde, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Great question.

    I, for one, think Apple hired him. :)

    Ya, because that never happens. Microsoft, McAfee, and other large corps would never hire people like Kevin Mitnik of http://www.kevinmitnick.com/
  • bigredgpk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I hope his current possition finds him healthy and free. Thanks to him I'm a happy OSx86 user.

  • ComputerNap, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Gosh, and I thought I saw him in an IRC room yesterday. Maybe just someone taing on his name...

    Lets just hope he wasn't arrested or sued.

    The guy finally just hacked himself out of the matrix and is now working for the humans in the war on "the outside". Keep up the good work Maxxus, and get me out if you have the chance! :D
  • Tarlach, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2What has happened to Maxxuss, very mysterious.

    Wonder what he is up to?
  • slickfire, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1he got a cease and desist order
  • nikolas, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Although I doubt he was hired by Apple...Why WOULDN'T Apple want to hire him? If you can't beat them, hire them. =)
  • mattmac24, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0yea i think he might of been an apple guy the whole time.

    but if he was sued/jailed....theyd advertise it to warm others against doing the same thing.

    So in my opinion..he just got bored of mac os and all da and is probably just taking a holiday.
