Concern mounts at true scale of Sony Pictures hack
Three days after Sony Pictures servers were hacked concerns are mounting as to the true scale of the breach, with reports indicating that private information relating to stars such as Cameron Diaz and Angelina Jolie may have been compromised.
According to The Times the company’s computer network remains offline, forcing staff to return to a pre-digital age of pen and paper, in a [period of enforced downtime which may last up to three weeks.
One source told The Times: “You go to work and there are people sitting at their desks trying to do their job with a pen and paper. It’s the same all over the world.
“They’re pretending that it’s just an IT problem, but it’s 100 per cent not. They are really playing it down. The tech guys I know said files were wiped.”
Amongst 11,000 gigabytes of files allegedly stolen by the hacking collective Guardians of Peace are files named by Reddit users as ‘Diaz, Cameron — passport’, ‘Angelina Jolie passport’, ‘media budgets’, ‘deals’, and, ironically, ‘security breach course of action.’
