Sony Pictures hacked: the full story
A successful attack on Sony Pictures' computer systems threw the entire studio into disarray in late November. The hijackers' identity and motivation remain unclear, though in the days following the attack, evidence has surfaced to suggest it originated in North Korea. Rather than attempting to steal money or otherwise profit from the information it obtained, this hack seems to be focused on making life difficult for Sony Pictures employees. They have been subjected to threats from the hacking group, which has posted much of the data it collected from the studio's servers to the web.
