the hackers said they got a big surprise on Christmas Day

my bet that its something very illegal that Sony Pictures has done that will lead to some firings and arrest if/when this gets out.

Interesting. It could be, probably something that could cost Sony a lot of money. The bad news just never ends for Sony :/

At least now that they know it's coming they can take steps to minimise the damage.

Yeah, or like someone else mentioned, maybe the hackers know something big about Sony. I just don't understand how a big corporation can give into the demands of some hackers so easily. Its making them look like a joke. 

Well Sony is still a Japanese company. So I'm assuming they are looking at this at a political level as well and doesn't want to add to the strained Japan - North Korea relation.

Again, I'm just guessing here. Its seems like the Japanese thing to do ^^;;;;

Was it also the japanese thing to do for Paramount to cancel pyongyang and theaters to ban Team America substitutions?

It is indeed sad for freedom of speech but i can relate to why they pulled it. Imagine the hate from media they would get if terrorism actually came. In a way i think we should consider sony as being good of putting safety before money. Thats more than what british petrolium would have done at least


the terrorists won your head...  its important that you show no fear.  even if they kill some people, if we lose or freedom and life in constant fear our lives dont matter anymore.  the best way of dealing with terrorist is go out and show no fear.

america lost its first cyber war. this ain't good.


Sony is a Japanese company. :-p

Anyhow, this is businesses making decisions. Not the goverment.

I'm not talking about Sony or the Government even though goverment officials said it. Last time I checked, the cinamas/theaters are american and canadian owned, they caved in to the terrorist demands. Do you get it now?

"North Korea's actions were intended to inflict significant harm on a U.S. business and suppress the right of American citizens to express themselves. Such acts of intimidation fall outside the bounds of acceptable state behavior," the statement said.

Wow, that's a surprise. I can't believe Sony is so afraid. I guess they are gonna avoid mentioning North Korea is every future movie release as well. 

Sony just using North Korea as an excuse for the complete fuck up of its security department. 

Its funny, that when some years ago some 'hackers' hacked thru Asad's e-mail they were shown in media as a 'freedom fighters' against a 'dumb tyrant'. Now huge international corporation fucked up its security (And its not the first time, I must say!) - and then some 'communists' are to blame because of some stupid movie... 

I call it a bullshit.

Yeah, or like someone else mentioned, maybe the hackers know something big about Sony. I just don't understand how a big corporation can give into the demands of some hackers so easily. Its making them look like a joke. 

They cancelled the film because theaters wouldn't show it. I'm not sure why people don't understand this. By cancelling it they can now recoup their investment through insurance.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
