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."
I mean it seems likely they got everything. Even the model numbers of the kitchen sinks.
Twist, M. Night Shyamalan was phone the whole time...
How did 100 TB get to North Korea over their dial up modem without anybody else noticing?
NSA sleeping that the wheel?
Five-eyes? All navel gazing?
Nobodies looking at the data going to North Korea?
More and more this seems like a false flag.
At first they thought the data was fake; all the scripts read like movies everyone has seen already.
Trouble is they're all marked up with Sharpie around the outside...
Thanks to the War on Drugs, it's easier to buy meth than it is to buy cold medicine!
Wouldn't it be interesting if the initial breach into their systems was an exploit on a server that involved the sony rootkit because an IT stooge wanted to listen to some tunes while reviewing log files years ago.
think what happened most likely was, NK officials went to China, hired "internet baddies", and paid them to fuck Sony Pictures in the ass with their biggest internet broomstick.
No technical expertise or infrastructure needed.
My guess is that a manager with too much access recklessly inserted a 2005-era music CD from Sony...
No expertise at all required to be a manager.
And, Godwin'd. That's a wrap everyone, have a great evening, see you in the next thread.
I don't care if it's 90,000 hectares. That lake was not my doing.
It's Sony Pictures we're talking about here, they probably run that operating system on all their PCs where all you need to do to download all the data on their network is plug in a USB stick, while your tech wizard back at the base hacks into the computer and installs the virus.
As long as you make sure you're in and out of the office containing the PC in the 60 second window between night watchmen checking in, there shouldn't be any problem with doing this.
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.
You've been watching too many movies. Would there also be a giant multi-color progress bar on the screen? And tension-filled music? Would he remove the device just seconds before someone walked in?
Catch up with Moore's Law.
I'm trying to, I think I can manage in 18 months or so ...
