Seriously they have been hacked multiple times over the last few years and they seem to not actually secure their network very well! PSN got hacked, the movies got hacked, everything at Sony is on open networks.

Global warming is barely a big deal at all compared to the trajectory we used to be on. We'll have to do a lot of environmental engineering projects along certain shorelines and it will be a little warmer and wetter in some places, big fucking deal.

I think if Sony started funding its own personal army it could beat the poo poo out of N Korea.

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

the article posted:

Spaltro argued that if his people had to remember those nonintuitive passwords, they’d most likely write them down on sticky notes and post them on their monitors. And how secure would that be?

considerably more you idiot, in order for an attacker to make use of monitor sticky notes they have to actually be able to walk into your building and make it past your secretaries/building security. by contrast practically anyone on the planet with spare time and hardware can use a botnet and dictionary cracker

North Korea spends a hilariously large amount (comparatively) on cyber warfare and despite the "LOL N.K can has computers" comments you see pretty often, they are quite adept at it. When you pay (force) someone to sit in a room all day (every day) and brute force different programs, operating systems, and network protocols, you can and will find ways to make trouble for people who are not extra-vigilant in their e-security.

Wow what a genius. Let me do an interview for an article about not being compliant with security standards etc. That could never hurt my company in a court case later!

Any goons wanna fake the release of "The Interview" to try to fool north korea into thinking that it was actually released just to see what they do? Come they are in North Korea I bet its not hard at all to fool them.
