The President said today he wish Sony had talked to him before pulling the plug on "The Interview."

It's not like Obama is willing to attack N Korea for the hacks. A 9/11 type attack would be cause for retaliation. Leaking out more Sony data would only affect Sony, not the US. Sony was just trying to stop their own pain knowing that Obama has limited recourse against N Korea for additional hacks against Sony. |

I have limited computer knowledge. I've been fed there's a intruder worm that can be sent to cause hard drives to crash when hackers attempt to intrude. Any truth to this? _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

So it was wrong for Sony to cave in on a film about Kim but ok to blame the death of Americans on a film about Mohammed? Shouldn't the President be apologizing for the Sony film? _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Apparently the malware used to hack Sony was filled with bugs, it's more a case of Sony's lax security than any skill on the part of the hackers. |

Pretty sure Sony America also made a deal with these people to stop any more releases of stolen info so I doubt you will see "The Interview" any time soon, if ever. |

Obama didn't suggest that the Mohammed film not be shown did he? Never cave to terrorist threats; especially from those who live in them. |

Didn't the President denounce that film and talk about freedom of speech? That was not caving as Sony did. Also there was not cyber threat to deal with. Different circumstances, different approach. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

A new leak saying that Drew Goddard may direct a new MCU Spidey movie for 07/17 and possible sequel in 2019! I hope this is true. |

N. Korea pitches collaboration with U.S. on Sony cyberattack
LINK
Sony chairman Michael Lynton said Sony did not cave.
Quote: | "We have not caved. We have not given in," Lynton said. "We have persevered, and we have not backed down. We have always had the desire to have the American public see this movie." |
Cold war/Hot war/Cyber war. If it's with a country with the resources of N Korea, we win all three.
Are we about to or have we been enganged in Cyber war with Korea or any other country? _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

He just made sure the guy who made the film was jailed. I would consider that caving to the terrorists. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Something is upside down here
A movie saying someone was a bloodthirsty thug provokes followers to defend his character by threatening to murder the person who made the movie? /I'mConfused. |
