Police say teen who leaked Xbox One info not cooperating
Information about Microsoft's Xbox One leaked long before its formal announcement in May thanks to an Australian teen with access to its development kit. According to recent police filings, the teen, Dylan Wheeler, is now denying police access to his laptop.
The West Australian Police claim Wheeler, known by the nickname "Super DaE," refused to grant access to his laptop despite being served a data access order compelling him to do so. According to the filing, Wheeler initially told officers he would enter the password himself since it "required some forensic preparation prior to any access attempt." Police claim Wheeler then refused to input the password, saying the input method was "taking too long" and later claiming he forgot the password because he changes passwords "all the time."
Police also say Wheeler declined to even say what kind of characters make up the password, though the teen reportedly says the entire police filing is a lie. An article by Kotaku Australia, citing Wheeler's private Twitter account, says the teen claims no such encryption exists on the laptop.
