Dear Mr Hackers, please can you not sell my personal, employment & medical details?
Pretty please?
Gawd bless em and their hearts of gold.
I presume any of the thousands of Sony employees that fail to get in touch with the hackers is fair game then?

Well, I don't know how they would of executed that
but they still offered it.
Yeah they are fair game, it's a war fought out in digital space, and as with any war, there is collateral damage.
Sony only pulled the film because theaters pulled out apparently. They weren't concerned enough about the personal details of their staff to protect them adequately in the first place or stop the film prior to that.
Although it was a pretty ruthless hack, I'm sure they could of done more to protect the data.

Security hasn't been one of Sony's strong points as of late.

No seriously, Sony employs over 140,000 people and you think they're fair game?
The personal details of those employees is now in the hands of hackers or the N Korean state.
Names and addresses
Employment records.
Medical records
Bank details
Any you think they deserve all that? Because "This is war"

I think I've made my point
I don't have much more to add.
Hacking is fucked up, I work in IT security and I'm a programmer but I've never wanted to hack anyone as I don't agree with it.
they were warned
they ignored warnings
their lack of IT security didn't protect their staffs data adequately enough
they stubbornly continued to ignore further warnings
they finally caved in for the wrong reasons
The security of the staffs data should of been Sony's priority, but unfortunately it wasn't.
BTW, Sony Pictures was hacked, not the entirety of Sony.

"They were warned"
Nice bit of victim blaming there.

There you go again.
Your words are unambiguous, yet it's my reading of them that's at fault?

Yup
You can read, not sure you can understand much though to be honest.

Now it's my fault that your point (if you actually have one) isn't clear.

"The security of the staffs data should of been Sony's priority, but unfortunately it wasn't."
So you're blaming the victims because Sony didn't have strong enough security to stand up to a nation states cyber warfare program?
Nice bit of blame relocation there.

I'm not blaming the victims at all
But if you want to get technical, who do you think secures their data? That will be staff who work for Sony. It's also responsibility of the staff not to use retarded passwords which only makes hacking easier.
Nice bit of completely missing the point in anything I say there.
