Are you familiar with North Korea, at all?
Yep, people seem to forget the innocent people caught up on this.

And some people are happy about it, as it seems.
Just read some posts here or on several other threads.

They already have all of your information! You'd be a fool to think that you have to succumb to their demands in order to feel protected. This is like a fucking parody. Over a fucking movie. Are these stories apart of the movie? They certainly feel like it. This has gotten so out of hand.
Are you going to threaten my livelihood if I say something bad about you?

People really think the hackers are trust worthy enough to not release anymore info since Sony caved? Fucking idiots. They'll continue making demands.
Actually yes, bad passwords was part of the problem. That was one of the major mistakes they made. They had emails talking about being proud of convincing an outside security auditor that they didn't want to force users to have complicated passwords. They kept open, unecrpyted lists of important passwords in excel files just sitting on servers and file shares. Thats the kind of crap that turns a fairly advanced attack into the disaster Sony had. If they had followed proper security practices internally this attack would have cause no where near as much damage.

This really makes you wonder what is in the rest of the hacked documents. How damaging are their secrets that letting the terrorists win is better PR than letting that info get out?
Not actually true.

Fuck you, Sony.
Beyond pathetic.

We have no good reason to believe Sony did this to keep more info from coming out. Firstly Sony pulled it after theaters decided not to show it on the 25th, and secondly trusting a group and holding back a movie would be dumb on Sony's part.

he should blame the theater owners too who were the catalyst
This shit is so easy to condemn when you have no stake in it.
"Oh Sony is such pussies" says the person whose social security number, address and family records arent currently held by a NK terrorist group.
"They bent over backwards"...yeah they did, because releasing a fucking movie was less important than making sure the planet didnt have their employees records which could be used for god knows what.

On CNN for anyone wondering. Said Sony made a mistake by pulling the film.
Can't the DoJ offer them some sort of protection, considering this is a foreign attack?

every person who sees the movie signs a release form that you wont sue for consequences.

"What if producers self-censor because they don't want to offend the sensibilities of someone whose sensibilities should be offended."
This isn't "the leader of a soverign nation", it's the leader of North Korea, the nation with a peerless reputation for human rights violations. There is no "both sides of the story" here; Kim Jong-Un is at the top of an unbelievably oppressive regime.
Fuck him. We should be making videos of cats shitting on his face.
I loved that line! I laughed aloud.

Sony just needs to go under at this point. Rembrandt their camera company back to Minolta and set it free and just let the rest of their shit tank. They suck. Incompetent as all hell.
This is nothing. We were expecting a gloat from GOP and we here it is. Part of me thinks that this will push Sony to release the film as a fuck you. The Japanese really don't like Koreans and vice-versa.
Yet somehow Americans finds a way to take offense in all this cause freedom.

Obama: Sony are pu$$ies, and we're pretty much not going to do anything in retaliation. Shit happens, as it were.

Obama demands this movie be released.
Here is the problem with this line of thought. How exactly does this "make sure" employee records aren't released? Since when are the statements made by hackers (or North fucking Korea) for that matter to be trusted in any way shape or form?

Buy PS4. get online code for movie.
The data is already in the wild. It's 'released'. Those people have to deal with the fallout already. The mistake is in thinking that it will somehow get better if these hackers are appeased.

I think the FBI said they had their full support.
Someone somewhere will find a way to sue. All that's left would be a sliver of the original revenue and or bad PR if things went wrong.

I know all the informations. I've read them all.
Still, they got attacked. By a fucking dictator / by NK.
End of story: This is an act of war, imfho!
What can the govt really do in retaliation? Bomb NK? (Obviously not gonna happen)
Sony looks like huge idiots and Obama is right
I've heard some conservative commentators suggesting a Sony boycott over all this. They seem pretty riled up and I wonder if it'll gain any traction.

Your post and your opinion is beyond pathetic.
Yeah, unethical business decisions are way more important than terrorism, threats of mass murder, and the security of your most basic human rights!
Am I allowed to say "Fuck you" to people on NeoGAF?
Oh, I'd also like to offer the same sentiment to everyone who is more concerned about condemning the victim of terrorist threats than addressing the actual issue,
How is a cyber attack against a private corporation an act of war? Get real, dude
