This article from a Swiss newspaper recounts the appearance of Christopher Tarnovsky at the European Black Hat conference.
While with NDS, Tarnovsky cracked Kudeslki's satellite TV encryption, but claims he didn't post the result on the open Net. His responses to audience questions are amusing, in particular when someone from Microsoft asks him about breaking the Xbox 360 console. Tarnovsky replies: "I have been offered 100,000 dollars for the break, but I replied that it was not enough."
