This is a link post Sony Pulls "The Interview"
To be honest, I think Sony deserve everything they got for that film. Think of it the other way around, if North Korea made a film about assassinating Obama, they would of been firing the nukes in minutes.

This is a normal post yes
they would

I'm obviously over exhagurating by saying "firing the nukes" assuming people wouldn't be as stupid on here to take that literally, but they wouldn't allow it.

pumps out anti American propaganda all the time. No one "fires the nukes" or anything like it. They ignore it.

massively popular I can see, clearly had some stars in that.

I'm guessing your definition of blockbuster differs from mine.

Great film, and it was a big deal at the time despite not being a "blockbuster".

I'm not sure that the Interview would've qualified as a blockbuster either, though...

Also sony employees have had their personal details stolen and released making them potential victims of fraud.
I don't think they deserved that just because someone made fun of lil kim.

Because that's straining the definition of joke.
 (I helped save b3ta! Cerebus Sticky! Sticky! Stick! Stick!, Thu 18 Dec 2014, 10:55, Reply)
This is a normal post do you understand the concept of exhaguration?
Clearly as this film involves the killing of someone in quite a graphic way, see the post above. Although it may be lolworthy to us lot, it isn't for them and for a film like that to be released by Sony to the entire world, it might be seen as a tad provocative.

Now with that in mind, the threat would have to be something that would insinuate that you would want to take someone elses life who also happens to be of importance. Preferably not mentioning defecating monkeys or whatever as that would probably change the tone of the tweet, not that you would fit that in.

And "straining the definition of joke" is the entire remit of most people on this site, just FYI.

Also: You do know that the hackers offered to redact staff personal details?

www.theverge.com/2014/12/15/7394703/sony-hacker-email-promises-christmas-gift-of-leaked-data-offer-to-redact-data

I'm not sure how much was released by that point, but still.

Gawd bless em and their hearts of gold.

I presume any of the thousands of Sony employees that fail to get in touch with the hackers is fair game then?

This is a normal post Well, I don't know how they would of executed that
but they still offered it.

Yeah they are fair game, it's a war fought out in digital space, and as with any war, there is collateral damage.

Sony only pulled the film because theaters pulled out apparently. They weren't concerned enough about the personal details of their staff to protect them adequately in the first place or stop the film prior to that.

Although it was a pretty ruthless hack, I'm sure they could of done more to protect the data.

mashable.com/2014/12/02/sony-hack-passwords/

Security hasn't been one of Sony's strong points as of late.

This is a normal post No seriously, Sony employs over 140,000 people and you think they're fair game?
The personal details of those employees is now in the hands of hackers or the N Korean state.
Names and addresses
Employment records.
Medical records
Bank details

Any you think they deserve all that? Because "This is war"

This is a normal post I think I've made my point
I don't have much more to add.

Hacking is fucked up, I work in IT security and I'm a programmer but I've never wanted to hack anyone as I don't agree with it.

they were warned
they ignored warnings
their lack of IT security didn't protect their staffs data adequately enough
they stubbornly continued to ignore further warnings
they finally caved in for the wrong reasons

The security of the staffs data should of been Sony's priority, but unfortunately it wasn't.

BTW, Sony Pictures was hacked, not the entirety of Sony.

So you're blaming the victims because Sony didn't have strong enough security to stand up to a nation states cyber warfare program?

Nice bit of blame relocation there.

But if you want to get technical, who do you think secures their data? That will be staff who work for Sony. It's also responsibility of the staff not to use retarded passwords which only makes hacking easier.

Nice bit of completely missing the point in anything I say there.
