It has been all over the news. Sony has been the target of hackers. Emails compromised. Employee information stolen including personal data like social security numbers, etc. Now terrorist type threats being issued against any theater showing the movie.
The movie doesn't sound all that good to me, and not sure it was going to be a huge hit despite having big names Rogen and Franco in it.
Prime suspects are in the hacking are...
1) North Korea. Seems they are not to happy with a movie showing an assignation attempt on their leader. Though it could be said they are fine with movies showing US cities getting blown to bits, but to each their own.
2) Sony itself. Doesn't really make sense in that if they really wanted publicity for the movie then they would not have gone to this length and let personal data get out. They could have faked the hack and released fake emails or only emails related to this movie. And certainly makes no sense to issue terror threats against movie theaters.
3) pretty much any group of hackers anywhere in the world just proving that they can and using the timing of the movie release to get more attention.
So who is going to go see the movie?
