About this listen
The Sony Pictures hack refers to a cyberattack that occurred in late 2014, targeting Sony Pictures Entertainment, a major film studio and subsidiary of Sony Corporation. The hackers, allegedly linked to North Korea, breached Sony's computer networks, stole vast amounts of data, and leaked sensitive information, including unreleased films, emails, and employee personal data. The attack was believed to be retaliation for Sony's planned release of the film "The Interview," a comedy depicting the fictional assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The Sony Pictures hack was one of the most significant cybersecurity breaches in history, highlighting the vulnerability of major corporations to sophisticated cyber threats and leading to widespread discussions about cybersecurity and freedom of expression in the digital age.
