Prominent PSP firmware hacker calls it quits

Dark Alex, infamous un-locker of Sony’s PSP, has decided to end his firmware development for the platform. The following message was left on his site:

Bye, scene.I’ve decided to cease OE development, and leave PSP scene.The reasons are various.One of them is the time it consumes, which i’m losing from other things.The other is related to my security. I didn’t like Sony menaces to PS3 hackers.I think it is better to leave now rather than end paying the consequences.
