Lawsuit Claims Sony Canned Security Staff Just Before Data Breach

Stoobalou writes "A lawsuit filed this week suggests that Sony sacked a group of employees from its network security division just two weeks before the company's servers were hacked and its customers' credit card details were leaked. The suit, which seeks class action status, is being brought by victims of the massive data breach that took place in April."

    Those responsible for sacking have been sacked. They've all been replaced at the last minute at great expense by trained llamas.

    Well, Obama is literally a puppet, a mechatronic puppet; controlled by brainwaves from the fleet of orbiting spacecraft piloted by angels who protect us from the lizards. And....

    Much simpler and more nefarious than that. He's receives his control messages from one or more visual cuing devices placed in front of him whenever he appears in public, which contain encoded messages for him to speak at the appropriate times.

    Humans, I mean we, call them 'teleprompters'.
