You may be familiar with Atomic Games, a developer known most recently for their upcoming multiplayer first-person shooter, Breach, a game that seems to have proved too popular for one man to allegedly resist. According to a new release on PR Newswire, at PAX East 2010, a man by the name of Justin D. May allegedly used his laptop to hack into a show floor Xbox 360 test-kit that was being used to demonstrate Breach, which is still in development. After downloading only 14mb, May was confronted by an Atomic Games employee. The release explains that once May was discovered, he grabbed his laptop and made a run for it before being apprehended by Boston PD after an Atomic Games staff member pointed him out in a crowd.
The Suffolk County District Attorney has filed charges against May for the attempted theft. May, like many of us have done on raids when we screw up, stated the obvious that he didn't do it, pleading "Not Guilty."
May failed to appear at an arraignment back in March, so he's not doing his own defense any favors. Additional details about May can be found over at Kotaku, who acquired a police report about the earlier activities.
