Quote:I don't know on one hand you think it's stupid they delayed the release over hackers threats. On the other hand you think how vulnerable are we that they where able to make those threats?

 

Did North Korea just expose how vulnerable the entire US grid is? Or just Sony? 

 

I hope they exposed how vulnerable we are.  I know there is a very large cyber-warfare department in the Pentagon, and I hope they are devoting resources to defense and not just offense.  

 

As for Sony, that's a Japanese company being threatened by a very belligerent, dangerous country, which is led by an unpredictable megalomaniac.   I can't really blame them for running away.   They would be very irresponsible if they did not beat a very swift retreat.  It's not up to the Sony Corporation to fight a war with North Korea. 

 

It'd be funny, though, if we found out that all these threats were coming from some 14 year old kid in his mom's basement who's mad because his playstation broke and Sony refused to honor his warranty.
