Microsoft is looking to hire what appears to be a person with a solid background in hacking. In a job listing on Microsoft's site for a Service Engineer, the company describes their ideal candidate as someone who tends to "void the warranty on every device" they own, and make "devices do things never intended by the manufacturer." "We are looking for a Senior Service Engineer to help define the next generation of entertainment devices and services, and to help ensure our customers have the best possible experience, even when things go wrong. Well-qualified candidates have extensive experience in running web-based services, deconstructing interaction between client and servers (via a combination of logging, network traces, and so on); have a good understanding of C# and/or PowerShell, and excellent ability to communicate verbally and on paper." They do make references to the "next generation of entertainment," so it is probably safe to say that this is related Xbox 720 in some form. Or, this could just be a move by Microsoft to enhance its security for the Xbox 720. Piracy and hacks have become almost too easy to do on the Xbox 360, so it's easy to think Microsoft would want to recruit some fresh knowledge in this area.

I suppose they're doing the Android thing and inviting people to come and mess around with their device' giving the end user freedom; however limited the freedom slightly so that they don't completely exploit Microsoft.

For the first J-Tag or whatever they are going to call it to be released is going to take longer; because once they have the base of the hacked firmware they aren't starting from scratch creating it over and over. It's like how jailbreaks work, it took a month for the first one for the iPhone 5 to come out; now they're out a day or 2 after the new firmware is released.

Still, they can update the stuff. Just wait for the0day which happend also to the PS3.

They can hire whoever the hell they want. Regardless, somewhere in Cambodia a little asian guy in a sweat-shop will still hack the shit out of the next gen and distribute the knowledge to do so.

I hate the word "hack" to describe things. However, I hope who they hire turns against them. I love exploits :3
