Perth's Xbox hacker charged Microsoft's latest Xbox, the Xbox One, which was unveiled this month. A Perth teenager whose home was raided by authorities after he listed a prototype of Microsoft's Xbox on eBay has been charged. WA Police have confirmed the 17-year-old was charged with several offences on Monday. The charges come months after the search of a property he resides at in February, which resulted in the seizure of his computers, hard drives, phones and bank cards. But in an unusual move, local authorities cannot reveal what he has been charged with and Fairfax Media believes not all of the allegations are specific to cyber crime. The self-professed Perth 'hacker' claims he was visited by a Microsoft representative after he attempted to sell a prototype of the next-generation Xbox console on eBay as a joke. It was shortly after this visit that he received a knock at his door. Although police confirmed the raid, they would not confirm, as claimed by the teenager, whether an FBI officer was present. Months later, on May 22, he tweeted that police had contacted him again and were considering pressing charges. But he also claimed to have set up a safety catch on his server, which he said would release sensitive information if he did not check into it, a possible side effect of arrest. "My server is now set to tweet READ-ONLY FTP details by Monday night if I do not tend to it. #letsplayagame" he tweeted. On Monday he posted that he had been arrested and bailed, even posting a picture of his bail notice. But he also told his followers he had decided against releasing the non-descript information. "I guess everyone will have to wait for another day, I won't be removing the trap however, just to be safe.:-) " he tweeted. The teenager believes the charges are an attempt to silence him and intends to "refute them" at a June court appearance in the Perth Children's Court, he said on Tuesday.
