stuff to keep in mind about Sony
First off, this is not the first time they have been hacked. Back when they were trying to get a game called DC Universe online going, they were hacked, as revenge for them prusuing a hacker for modding his machien to play pirate software.

So, we should not act like this is a surprise, especially because the on report was that Sony had failed to upodate their security. But theren is also something in common to note..Rioght after DCuniverse wnet on, many employees were fired, meaning the same people who put in 70 hour weeks than just got dumped.

So, what happened? Maybe NK is involved, they have been crazy enough to do silly things, but frankly, the REAL story is that Com;anies that have been burning through employees like a chain smoker burns through cartons have apprentlyu forgotten who runs their data, and if you were treated badly by your company, why not sell your info to whoever buys. a disgruntled employee can do a lot, as a former private contractor named Edward Snpowden showed. Is it an accident that the targeted people were top level executives, many fo whom bragged about being assholes?
