Post by Shane1145 »

Last year Sony dominated the headlines over two major security breaches during the Christmas season. The first attack, orchestrated by a group of young hackers called Lizard Squad, resulted in the complete shutdown of Sony Playstation’s online gaming services for gamers around the world. The second attack was speculated to be North Korea's warning call for Sony’s new film, The Interview, which had a plot to kill North Korea’s no. 1 boss, Kim Jong-un. Under this breach, Sony lost a significant amount of sensitive and business data including Social Security Numbers, private email messages, salary info of 47 000 employees together with intellectual properties such as scripts for new films.
