"The Interview" Withdrawal Could Be A Turning Point For Terrorism in America

Sony's The Interview movie withdrawal is a HUGE deal. The decision to pull the film from all platforms today could be a welcome mat to terrorists making targets out of large corporations in the United States. This is a very real threat and could lead to more threats like the one made towards the movie premier of The Interview. Unfortunately, the decision could prove itself to be a major turning point for the safety of Americans. This is a HUGE deal.


Yesterday, Sony broke the news that they wouldn't be premiering The Interview, Seth Rogen's film about killing North Korean leader Kim Jung-Un, on December 25th. While this originally seemed like it was in response to many major movie theaters including AMC Entertainment and Regal Entertainment refusing to show the controversial movie in their chains, Sony has announced today that they will not be releasing the film on ANY platform.

If I Were The Sony Network Security Manager

In light of the ongoing attacks on the Sony network, I felt inspired to write a simple plan on what I would do if I were the Network Security Manager at Sony. This article assumes that Sony doesn't have very advanced security measures and is not an accurate account of what is not present in their network environment:

Hi, I'm Jeremiah Hainly and I'm the new Network Security Manager at Sony. Over the past decade, our networks have been highly targeted because we make decisions that other people love to hate. After our most recent attack, the previous Network Security Manager was released from his position, and now I'm leading the security efforts to prevent attacks from occurring in the future. This will help keep our employee's salaries confidential, and keep our gaming community happy since their servers can finally stay online reliably.
