Aussie hacker in international probe

An Australian hacker has found himself at the centre of an international corporate espionage investigation after leaking details of Microsoft's new Xbox and listing a prototype on eBay as a joke.

Perth man SuperDaE goes by many names and online aliases, most commonly Dan Henry, but for "safety reasons" he prefers to be called only "Dylan" and describes himself as a freelance security analyst.
