Some disturbing news just got my attention and it underlines why this was the worst hack ever. Here’s what news.com is reporting:
Threatening email have been sent to Sony Pictures employees and their families after a massive breach of Sony’s computer network, the FBI confirmed late Friday.
While the FBI confirmed it is investigating threatening emails sent to Sony Pictures employees, it declined to elaborate. “We’re not confirming the details of the threat,” the FBI said in a statement.
The emailed threats say in part: “Many things beyond imagination will happen at many places of the world… Please sign your name to object the false of the company at the email address below if you don’t want to suffer damage. If you don’t, not only you but your family will be in danger.” The text of the email was first reported by Variety.
Sony declined to comment on the emails.
Well. This is a plot twist that I wasn’t expecting. Still, when someone steals all sorts of personal information, you can expect that something really bad will be done with it. And this qualifies as really bad. I don’t think I have ever heard of anything like this before and it’s clearly a new low by these hackers who call themselves “The Guardians Of Peace.”
It does not sound like any peace I want to be a part of. That’s for sure.
