Sony Employees Receive Email Threat From Hackers: 'Your Family Will Be In Danger

MojoKid writes: Things are going from bad to worse when it comes to the recent Sony Pictures Entertainment breach. Not only has sensitive financial information been released — including the salaries of high-ranking Sony executives — but more damaging personal information including 47,000 Social Security numbers of employees and actors have been leaked to the internet. We're now learning some even more disturbing details, unfortunately. Guardians of Peace (GOP), the hackers claiming responsibility for infiltrating Sony's computer network, are now threatening to harm the families of Sony employees. GOP reportedly sent Sony employees an email, which just so happened to be riddled with spelling and grammatical errors, that read in part, "your family will be in danger."

Guardians of Peace (GOP) [...] are now threatening to harm the families of Sony employees.

You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

If Anime is any indication, the Japanese equivalent of the FBI should be at least three or four decades ahead in terms of technology... and have much sexier female agents as well as powerful mechas that almost act like household pets but with cute voices.
