REASONS

Why??

The Sony Information Security Department Was not Secure

“Their [information security department] was empty, and all their screens were logged in. Basically the janitor can walk straight into their Info Sec department.” - Stiansen

“The Interview” Featuring Kim Jong-Un

Sony Was Warned about North Korea Attack by Security Expert

“A Possibility of Cyber Attack” - Bruce

Sony Was Warned about North Korea Attack by Security Expert“Even if North Korea doesn’t know about the film yet, as soon as they do find out about it, they will likely explore Sony’s computer systems to see if Sony is ready to deal with North Korean criticism.”-Barnet.

“If [Lynton] had received any kind of warning, his next call would have been to a cyber expert to ask about it … In their many phone conversations, Bennett never mentioned the possibility of a cyber attack on the studio.”-Lawson.

North Korea was also known as

Hackers

Threat from the Hackers “We’ve got great damage by Sony

Pictures,” the Email says.

Warning for Sony “The North Koreans are pretty aggressive cyber

warriors. It’s just surprising to me that there wasn’t a more robust sense of alarm and caution.”-Klein

Experts Say About Sony Attack “I didn’t see the bad guys jumping over any extreme hurdles, because there weren’t any

extreme hurdles in place.”- Ed Skoudis, a “white hat” hacker.

Experts Say About Sony Attack Ed Skoudis puts its perpetrators

on par with students in his mid-level classes.

Sony’s Lack of Defenses Made It “Virtual Piñata” for Hackers

United States Intelligence officials, after evaluating the software, techniques, and network sources used in the hack, alleged that the attack was sponsored by North Korea. But North Korea has denied all responsibility.
