Sony Pulls the Interview
The Sony Hack is now the most successful cyber attack ever. The hackers are essentially now running Sony, and have forced Sony to cancel the opening of the Interview, a crappy movie starring Pineapple Express Duo Seth Rogen and James Franco.
In my opinion, the move to cancel the movie was one that was made by Sony’s lawyers. It has been apparent that most of Sony’s operations have been legally driven for years- from how they handle protection of intellectual property, by placing rootkits on DVDs, the prosecution of small time offenders for using bittorrent, and now pulling the movie- you know that the creative side and engineering side of Sony aren’t running things. The lawyers are.
There is no way that North Korea, if they are indeed behind the cyber attack, have agents that could carry out terrorist attacks against theaters. If there are North Korean terror cells in the US, well, I hope Obama gets on that as soon as he’s done making new friends with Communist Cuba.

No one should kid themselves. With the Sony collapse America has lost its first cyberwar. This is a very very dangerous precedent.

I expected us to lose a few cyberwarfare battles. I just didn't think it'd be to a country without the internet. pic.twitter.com/7Rx2ultUFR
