Sony Pictures CEO Claims 'We Have Not Caved'

With all of the sanctions and shit NK has suffered if they possessed this kind of technical prowess or knew parties that did they would have been hacking shit in the US a long time ago. This attack on Sony was like most hacks, a crime of opportunity. Sony is of no value to hackers, and NK has much bigger grudges against much bigger enemies than this. I wouldnt be surprised if this group recognized the trouble they were about to get in and decided NK was more or less a perfect patsy to let it fall on since people started making such assumptions.

Its kind of easy though for Obama and Hollywood to point at SONY and say..."

Honestly, the first thing that popped into my head is - why is Obama commenting on this? What, nothing else happen in the world today that doesn't require your attention?

A state sponsered hacker group just walked up to a US based company and turned it around and bent it over.

Imagine if that your bank or some market you were invested in or the company you work for or some stunt that made wallstreet take a shit?

The real question is why is he deflecting this all onto Sony when its his job to help provide security from external threats?
 
^^^^ But isnt Sony a Japanese company? Why aren't they getting involved?
 
Nobody should take North Korea or their psycho nutjob leaders seriously, gotta love how they throw a hissy fit when some other country mocks them with media, sure the Kim family has their own country bowing down to them but they don't own the entire world, I applaud anyone who makes fun of Kim Jong Un or whoever, nobody should be suppressed of their opinion and Kim Jong Un and his family deserves to me mocked and made fun of.

Whart? Its now the presidents job to make sure a japanese company can keep from getting hacked? This is fucking Sony BTW you know the same company that gets hacked about every 3 months now...

What kills me is people actually believe its Obamas fault sony was able to get hacked. Oh irony, i would actually love to see the backlash if the current administration actually suggested that private companies have a certain level of security on their servers.

Its disgusting people actually believe our president is somehow to blame when private companies get hacked and then make a private decision...

The hypocrisy never ends.

Wow, does anyone else think it was just a bad idea to make this movie? I'm definitely not in the PR business, but when I first saw the movie trailer, I thought, "I bet this doesn't go over well". I mean Kim Jong-un is loose cannon/whack job leader. He has openly threatened China and South Korea over publicly announced missal tests on their own soil. Who in their right mind would sign off on a Hollywood comedy script depicting his proposed assassination while he's still the leader of North Korea? Imagine the backlash if another country released a Hollywood movie depicting the proposed assassination of our President. While I don't think Kim Jong-un, or his followers, are in the right to hack into Sony's infrastructure and/or threaten us with violence, I find it appalling that Sony would even consider releasing a movie of this nature to begin with.

Free speech. And we actually do depict our president being killed or tortured in Hollywood movies pretty often. My favorite movie of last year for action was Olympus Has Fallen, was very well done overall. I bet it's North Korea 's dream to pull that movie depiction off....

This. It is demeaning to the office of the President and not his place to remark on publicly.

You do know they're usually pretty well screened in advance, right? If by happenstance this was unexpected then a simple no comment would have sufficed.
