The Sony Pictures Hack Was Even Worse Than Everyone Thought
An anonymous reader writes with today's installment of Sony hack news. "It's time to take a moment of silence for Sony Pictures, because more startling revelations about leaked information just came out and employees are starting to panic. BuzzFeed raked through some 40 gigabytes of data and found everything from medical records to unreleased scripts. This is probably the worst corporate hack in history. Meanwhile, Fusion's Kevin Roose is reporting on what exactly happened at Sony Pictures when the hack went down. The hack was evidently so extensive that even the company gym had to shut down. And once the hackers started releasing the data, people started 'freaking out,' one employee said. That saddest part about all of this is that the very worst is probably still to come. Hackers say they stole 100 terabytes of data in total. If only 40 gigabytes contained all of this damning information, just imagine what 100 terabytes contains."
sony is not a 'good' company. they are a huge multinational who has pushed drm and crappy overpriced electronics for decades. i have a sony stereo from the 80's and everything else sony i have ever bought is broken or broken by design.
yes they hire a lot of people but i bet they pay them crap wages and perpetuate the myth that people are overpayed or that honest people having honest wages is somehow wrong. sure their big directors and stars make big money, but i bet there are college students working as interns for no pay... and i know they play with their money to avoid taxes.
on a side note wheel of fortune has two giant 8k resolution tv sets that display pretty pictures for no better reason than because they could. sony owns wheel of fortune but do you see them trying to get people to pay for 4k sets when they already produce 8k hardware? 3d fullhd sets didn't take off and i don't know if 4 k will or even 8k outside of california where movie studio owners can have the big 8k screens to 'do their jobs' but sony knows how to make 8k hardware they just got fat off the upgrade cycle making people buy media on multiple technologies etc not caring for one minute about if it is sustainable technology or in the public interest...

"Then there are Subtitled and Closed caption versions."
Except those are separate TEXT FILES moron.
Good job acting like you knew what the fuck you were talking about, until you shot yourself in the foot with your ignorance.
Most Sub/CC files aren't even ONE FUCKING MEGABYTE.
Still waiting on Serviscope_minor to wake up to fucking reality and realize that Jessica Price isn't going to fuck him.
