These days, cyber crimes are becoming something else. Sony
had witnessed yet another attack. Yes, you are probably wondering when Sony was
previously attacked.
Let’s get to it.
Still 2011, some hackers released 150,000 Sony picture records,
including user names and passwords and still claiming to hold an estimate of
about a million persons’ information.
In October 2012, a hacker group called “The Three Musketeers”
released a security key that allowed PS3 users to run pirated games on the
network.
Now, the year 2014 seems like a reprise of this attack. In
November 2014, some cyber criminal minded hackers hacked into Sony’s private
computer systems which hold the data of the company’s operations paralyzing the
activities of the company. They went further to side lick some hypersensitive
information of the company – employee information, top staff salaries and
private mails. The attack went viral online for quite some time as the hackers
asked for the cancellation of the Sony awaited The Interview premiering. They
claimed that further attacks would stop if they (Sony) would obey them at this
time.
The attack triggered massive investigations from the states.
Later, the FBI released statement alleging that North Korea was behind the
attack s they were seen against the premiering of the movie/comedy The
Interview. These findings led to the exchange of words between the countries
leaders involved
This attack, so serious that the Secretary to the White House
had to release a statement saying that this attack was a serious National
attack.
The President, Barrack Obama of America had this to say about
the whole issue, “The cyber attack is very serious, we‘re investigating it;
we’re taking it seriously, we’ll be vigilant; if we see something we think is
serious and credible, then we’ll alert the public. But for now, my
recommendation would be that people go to the movies”.
Men, why was the need for this. I had to ask myself unending
question . . .
Can’t dialogue resolve issues?
Do we need to threaten peoples’ lives for others sin?
Do we have a safe place in this world again?
When do persons, people, group of people really get to get
along?
Happy Soaring!!!
