Okay, guys, you guys guys these are really good to eat food with them. Okay, guys, i got ta eat some food to fill up for the day. Okay watch this it's! These are pretty good uh eating videos. Well, let's make it look me decent.

Actually, i i enjoy videos pretty. Why is, though, all right november, 24th, 2014 - several emails appear at sony, an anonymous message from an unknown deity who refers to himself as, but the employees push the emails aside right, move on with their day shortly after they receive another batch, more threatening messages asking that They decide we'll decide what decide something by 11 pm once again, unaware of what is about to happen. Employees push the things aside right, whatever go about the day, so then, on the other side of the building on what seems like any other day, a guy is entering a meeting they're talking about an upcoming release for a movie called the interview. So the meetings agenda is for the new york city, premiere of that film and then and then they start getting notifications on their phone.

These emails, they keep appearing, keep breaking through the firewall same thing same deal decide by 11 pm, but this time they're asking for monetary compensation and after this first batch of threatening emails, then the leaks start beginning. So they first start off by releasing personal details. Unreleased scripts email contents between employees start to appear on the internet before anyone at sony can actually understand what's happening. The hackers use a variant of the shamu wiper malware and begin erasing the infrastructure.

So i'm ripping this straight from wikipedia the shimoon, also known as w32 dis track is a modular computer virus that was discovered in 2012.. So essentially, once the system is infected, the virus continues to compile a list of files from specific locations on the system. It then uploads them to the attacker and erases them. Finally, the virus overwrites the master boot record of the infected computer, basically making it unusable.

So the security personnel there decide to take down the data post it on social media but, as we know, know the internet. Four days after that initial attack on november recode publishes an article in which it links the recent sony attacks with none other than north korea. So then, by december, 7th c-span is is out. There reporting that 47 000 social security numbers have been compromised directly related to these attacks.

At this point, sony is bleeding. Everyone is watching, it's embarrassing for them. So then, by december, 8th sony receives another punch to the gut. When the hackers make an eight data, dump then also threaten the headquarters of sony with correlations to 911..

So this broke the attention of the u.s security and it's further solidified that north korea is behind this hack, because the messages are mentioning the assassination of kim jong-un. In the interview you want us to assassinate the leader of north korea. Yes, they state that to allow the production and distribution of such a film should be regarded as the most undisguised sponsoring of terrorism, as well as an act of war. So the final decision is to pull the interview now cancelled this, as u.s officials make the connection between north korea and sony's crippling cyber attack anna corman.

Here now with the very latest good morning, anna good morning, liam heather good morning to all of you at home, the film that everyone has been talking in a really weird statement. The north korean government offers to join hands with the u.s and to find the identities of these unfortunate hackers say the us should stop with the allegations. I trust them. Actually, meanwhile, emails from the quote unquote are still being sent all throughout the sony headquarters.

The us secretary of homeland security states that the cyber attack was not just an attack against the company and its employees. It was also an attack on our freedom of expression and way of life. Wait. What so, at this point, everyone is is still wondering if it's actually north korea behind it what's happening, what's happening what's happening.

On the one hand, you can make the argument um that they use the same attack code that was used in 2013 um that north korea is blamed for, and this was an attack on south korea. On the other hand, actually attack code is just bought and sold. Quite regularly, there's a whole underground cyber criminal trade where you can buy and sell attack codes. So i'm not sure that was initially why we accused north korea um, but i'm not sure that that is actually such a valid argument.

You know sometimes the mainstream media. They talk about like crypto or video games or whatever, and they say things or they were like what shut up. It's like like really like um out of touch. Do you think that what you're saying is out of touch also like for this topic, or not not sure that was initially why we accused north korea um, but i'm not sure that that is actually such a valid argument.

They made an assessment around that time on whether or not they think the uh country of north korea was behind the attack. They suggest that it may be associated with the firing of a few employees a few months prior in may 2014.. They point out that an attack of the scale needed help from within and obviously sony denied these accusations following this computer. Following this one, a computer, forensic specialist from fireeye kevin mandia.

He basically said that there's not a shred of evidence that show an insider from sony was involved in the attack, so conflicting opinions. He thinks it was from the outside in a third option. An alleged member of that hacking group quote unquote boasts that the hack started a year before on december 23rd. However, that's just a boast who knows, and so now the dust has kind of settled and sony announces that 300, independently owned cinemas will show the interview and then the following day the film releases on youtube, google play and xbox video.

So, ultimately, on september 6, 2018, the department of justice tracks and pins officially quote unquote the hacks on one north korean citizen by the name. Wait all this all that because of the movie, it's wait. It's a humor movie, though wow. What a florist you truly slandered! A quick question: can i interest you in a fresh advertisement, is um.

Give me.
