North Korea Behind Sony Hack?
Sony Pictures Entertainment was hacked earlier this week, according to The Hollywood Reporter. As the fallout continues, it has come to light that the hack includes the social security numbers of more than 47,000 current and former employees. Included in that 47,000 are celebrities like Sylvester Stallone, Judd Apatow, and Rebel Wilson. In a little bit of life imitating art, authorities suspect that North Korea is behind the attack, and the motivation behind it is the outrage over the movie The Interview, produced by Sony Pictures. Lending credence to that theory: so far one of the few files the hackers have leaked to the media is the budget for The Interview, and the salaries for Seth Rogen and James Franco ($44 million, $8.4 million, and $6.5 million, respectively). See Rogen talking about The Interview, including North Korea declaring the movie an act of war, below
