fleischr said: Unless you've been living under a rock, you know all about the Sony hacks and how NK did them because they were upset over the release of the upcoming movie "The Interview". So far the hackers have leaked emails and other documents, all in efforts to shame Sony into holding release of the film. So far they've censored it a little, but not really to an effect I think NK will be pleased with. I don't think NK will stop being mad about "The Interview". They seem to consider this movie an act of war. And the more popular the movie gets, the more pissed off NK gets. Meaning NK probably won't relent in finding new ways to cause trouble for Sony until they censor the movie further or remove it from distribution entirely. And that means every line of business from which Sony supports itself financially has a target on its back. This most certainly includes PSN/Playstation. Will we see PSN attacks? Will we have Playstation related leaks? I'm surprised this hasn't already happened. I for one plan on seeing the movie as soon as I can, but I'm reluctant to put my time and money into PS at this point because some disaster could happen especially in the near future. |
Actually its only speculations that the hack was done by North Korea. There's no solid evidence that it was them but a high chance it could've been them.

100% agree. I dont like hackers, I dont like leakers.... ever. I am puzzled why some on the internet who approved of different leaks are against this one though, given it shows institutional racism and sexism is rife at the top of Sony pictures. Those people would have called this justifiable on that basis alone. Some people take their fanboyism too far it seems.

No company, institution, organization, etc. is perfect, and anyone can point to any fault or interpretation of fault to fuel their agenda. And this doesn't give anyone the right to ensue chaos (hacking in this case) as justification to promote ones agenda. If using chaos were a means of justification, anyone could argue that they had any right they deem neccessary to intrude upon yours. Be consistant, not hypocritical. And it did not surprise me that you to have responded as such since you just voiced some form of justification to these hacks.

Nope. I dont agree with hacks ever. I've said this many times on this forum. I have pointed out why some groups might feel justified. That doesnt mean I think it is justified. I dont. It isnt. Clear enough for you.

Without going through the entire thread, sorry for the misinterpretation. My apologies.
LOL I guess they are. What a joke of a country.
Yeah, Its pretty Scary.
North Korea is showing the "Strength" they have and what "power'' they have.
Who knows, a bigger company like Google, Microsoft or Apple could be next. And I think the US should handle this very carefully.
Pocky Lover Boy!
I think people are overestimating the damage this will cause to Sony.
They're not making a video game about NK, so PSN doesn't have a target painted on it like SPE did. (If this was indeed NK)
And while they may have lost the cinema run, the film is now infamous, so its digital/disc sales will have increased dramatically.
