Sony should make a documentary about themselves and hacking, in fact they should be able to make an excellent one, they have plenty of material to work with! Still they got amazing publicity, was all over the news.

They don't have to like it, they don't have to be amused, but as part of this world, they do have to accept that some other countries are going to do things they don't like. You can cow before the respectable North Korea, if you so please, but the world should never adopt such a timid and weak stance. May as well just accept Sharia law while we're at it, since, you know, that's what a bunch of really violent people want. |
When I pass through airport security they check for objectionable pornography and marijuana. As far as I can see we already have several elements of Sharia law in place. Let's face reality, we are only nominally independant and we fold so frequently it's laughable.
North Korea? Is this real life?

So who is to blame, the thief or the person who still leaves his belongings easy to access?
I mean ya blame the theif for sure, but really shouldn't some blame fall on the company for not having much better security, or do we just let history constantly repeat itself.

the reality is that there is no secure system
the hack mostlikely happend this way - somebody opened an infested email attachment sent to their private email at their work pc
ofcourse you can tell your employees not to do that, but that doesn't mean it won't happen

The theif obviously. No security system is entirely secure. In fact, the best way to improve security systems is to hack it internally to expose weaknesses. Saying something like get better security is pretty naive. Not to mention the hack of Sony Pictures, is on an different network and was hacked for different reasons than PSN. Thats like saying someone in Los Angeles should wear body armor outside because there cousin in Chicago got shot.
Its much safer to simply not be a target, which is ofc what North Korea wants.

That is fair, but you would think that they would still have backups in place. A week is a long time in this day and age. Given I might just be underestimating the IT capabilities of North Korea, but a part of me thinks, really sony a whole damn week.
@Dr Henry
Sony as a corporation has been dealing with security issues for awhile. I didn't mean to hint at PSN crisis. A bunch of pieces of Sony has been hacked.
