It isn't and it's not. Fuck every site that republishes any of this data for the sake of the almighty click.

Well, we're here now, so we might as well make the most of it.
Amy Pascal has no idea who Rita Ora is, despite having a meeting set up with her
The creepy Malaysian actor who spammed Pascal's inbox to try and get a role in Spectre
Variety went to the doghouse because they leaked details about the Ghostbusters/Feig deal before it went public through their preferred source
Some interesting data from the merchandising deals from Ghostbusters 2
Christ, they really put it all out there. Paul Feig's private cell number is mentioned in one of the emails.
BOND BOY

what a bunch of dickheads.
What does wikileaks believe it is accomplishing by providing easy, searchable access to stolen data for Sony Pictures - from what i can tell their are alot of personal, private communication between employees and friends/families, as well as personal data like address, phone numbers etc.
I am all for freedom of information/expression etc, but this is just simply wrong.

Guessing that's in reference to miles?

No wonder Ernie Hudson is at the local comic shop here in Columbus doing signings like 4 times a year. Hope he fired whatever agent he had back then, those other 4 are making a pretty penny on Ghostbusters 3 without ever lifting a finger.

It's pretty comforting to know that a 'buzz report' to a multibillion company amounts to selectively copy pasting comments from NeoGAF.

This is creepily voyeuristic and a gross invasion of privacy. Having said that, some of the unprofessionalism (and...unhingedness) of the content in some of the e-mails is amusing.
For folk working in big corporations, it's quite the norm.

Holy shit, I just found a huge contacts list for everyone. Goes into pretty crazy detail.

I don't think they should have released this to be honest. Some of the information could put people at risk as there are addresses, private email and phone numbers all available.
Code:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/wAsVciA.jpg[/IMG]Only on GAF is there sympathy for a multinational megabillions media conglomerate when they get caught with their pants down. I'm sure Pascal with her $3m a year salary will be just fine after this blows over, non-existant attacks using her personal information included. I on the other hand was a victim of the PSN hacks with no idea what happened to my information, but fuck us right we're nobodies.
the Register said:
Poor, poor sony.

thank you, these are my thoughts on this topic as well
and the zuckerberg-assange comparison is spot on!
And all the employees who just got their personal information leaked?
Fuck them right?
both these posts are so incredibly ignorant it is beyond embarrassing
employees of Sony did not deserve to have their private information leaked
the shit you both posted is absolutely disgusting. you should feel ashamed.
Sony didn't cancel the show. They're the ones who got it revived.
The information was already widely available though, correct? Any party seriously interested in extracting personal data has already had months too. Ultimately, the creation of a searchable database so long after seems like it would have little influence on these peoples lives in comparison to the issues it would have likely caused six months ago.

yeah marvel was really wrong for this one, way to burn a bridge there. the company, and especially ike, seems like a pain to do any creative work with. i wasn't happy with drew goddard announcement for daredevil, but his input on it really proved me wrong.
Sorry, the whole thing is kinda hard to follow. Edited my post.

Are you serious? You think it's ok for average Joe to have all his private details and exchanges available to the fucking world.
Also news fucking flash, a person salary is no way linked to their right to privacy. That's an absolutely abhorrent attitude.

1. people had over half a year time to respond to the leak and change their data etc. you could even say that wikileaks was generous enough to give people more time to respond to the leak
---
im talking about phone numers, cc, and such stuff
people can also check facebook or use other means for names and adresses for identiy frauds
---
2. people who were interested in the private data of the leak already got it via torrents half a year ago
3. if there are really signs that this is true, then this information should be free for everyone: "The Sony Archives show that behind the scenes this is an influential corporation, with ties to the White House, with an ability to impact laws and policies, and with connections to the US military-industrial complex."
3.b. And given the mass of the leak, this could take a while and it certainly is not possible for a few people to read through all of this to delete such highly delicate private details. However, i agree, that there should be a a person handling this leak who checks for such details after receiving information from the community.
4. if you use an e-mail address of a company, all the information you write in them belongs automatically to the company, even your private chitchat ones. So therefore when i give my private information away in such a way, then i have lost all the rights to that information.
5. When my higher-ups came to me and asked me for all the email correspondence of one of the persons working there, i simply had to give it to them. your stuff is never private! not on facebook and certainly not at work.
and last: if a company fucks over its costumers and even its own employees due to low security measures (and using passwords like "password" is deliberate action when you are in control of so much critical private information). Im even shocked that there are no grave consequences, for example the company must be held responsible for all the costs that each one of their employees had to come up with and that resulted from the leak - directly or indirectly
to condemn the one who brings the bad news in wrong on so many levels
im sorry for my bad english.
There are GAF members working for Sony. Their information is out there. Sony has a lot more employees than Pascal.
Yes, it is easy to change your SSN, your name, your kid's name, ... You know, the typical stuff that is used for identity fraud.

Reitman getting merchandise cheques for directing the film? Fucking ridiculous.
Which does have privacy settings to hide that. And why should they have to change that stuff? Wikileaks could just not have leaked it and everybody would be okay.

...? No, the data would be just as available as it was before Wikileaks indexed it.
footfunghi

yes, please read my original post as a whole before answering
or see:
and:
we are still talking about the same people that use passwords like "password123" and use their work-email for private correspondence and do wonder, why their data is now visible for the whole world. Therefore i herewith claim that a lot of these people do not even know of the existence of private settings on facebook, or what they exactly do or how to use them correctly.
i could go on and proof this claim by showing all these posts made on facebook which led to either shitstorms or contract terminations, because people were not aware of how facebook is used properly

you know, there is also a kind of dilemma:
-> people need work or want a product, and thus they gladly give all their information to the company with bad reputation about data security, such as sony. And dont tell me that nobody saw this coming after the playstation disaster
there is absolutely nothing you can do if companies dont care about security and your private data but you guys go on and defend this poor company and blame other parties. I sincerely do hope that another leak from sony is coming exposing paid trolls running around message boards and spouting nonsense in the name of the holy corporation.

It was available at select places with only very few people having access to the entire archive. The complete archive never leaked out last time, the Pascal mails was the only stuff leaked out with the hackers keeping the Lynton mails for their blackmail. Wikileaks has changed that.
You changed it after my post, and I only quoted the parts that were relevant.
Billions of people use their work mail for a private mail once in a while. You're even blaming those people for the consequences. That is just sick, especially because you seem to be doing it out of some fanboyism. These are real people, some of them having no involvement to PlayStation at all.
I never realized they all belonged to Sony employees. Those shitstorms also often started because of people actually on their contact list. Like most of those cases where someone insulted his company with their boss on his friendlist.

Different pieces were available via torrent -> ergo for everyone! And i dont know if this is a complete archive with new information. The description on wikileaks doesnt make it clear.
im sorry for this
see, you are doing it again. i just state what is wrong and because i do that you say that im a sick person. You cannot change the world for a better if you ignore the problems.
or to put it in another words:
People must be made aware of this so that they stop with this habit!
and no, im no fanboy, i even do have a ps3, a ps2, a broken ps1, a vita, a sony walkman, a sony handy...?
considering this im even part of this problem, i should stop using sony products as a whole but im enjoying games from japan
and please stop accusing me of fanboyism -> i begin to think that youre trying to ultimately discredit me with this
that is a very low tactic
and because i use their products, i want them to change, so that my data is secure
it shows how the average person, who is also working at sony, deals with it
