Anonymous Claims They Will Release "The Interview" Themselves

Posted by samzenpus on from the If-you-cancel-my-release-I-shall-become-more-popular-than-you-can-possibly-imagine dept.

An anonymous reader writes In a series of tweets the hacker collective Anonymous says they will release "The Interview" to the masses if Sony won't. A few of the tweets read: "Seriously @Sony we warned you. We infiltrated your systems long before North Korea. We thought you'd take it as a warning and fix your s@#t." and "We're not with either side, we just want to watch the movie too and soon you too will be joining us. Sorry, @SonyPictures."

    "Anonymous" is a floating designation, not the same people all the time - so it's hard to define them.

    In this specific case, BMG was a separate music company that Sony purchased shortly before the scandal. There wasn't a guy working in a Sony office in Japan who approved the rootkit. It happened nine years ago, it didn't actually act as a backdoor to people getting hacked, and I think it's time for Slashdot to get over it.
