Senator John McCain who is the chairperson of Senate Armed Services Committee, will conduct trials in the upcoming two weeks of the Congress meeting. The hearing will particularly focus on the cyber breach associated with Sony Pictures.
McCain who seemed very agitated over the issue considered it be "an act of war". He understands the sensitivity of the situation and demands revenge from North Korea. According to him the only possible revenge is to hit North Korea with a cyber security attack. No rocket or missiles can do justice to this act of cowardice. He further adds that this initiate is a threat to the integrity of free speech. The vulnerability of the situation can be deduced by the fact that he had never heard of a more brutal act in his lifetime. McCain knows that United States has immense potential in the cyber crime domain and he encourages to use this potential in favor of the nation.
Also the United States official plan to take revenge. According to White House Press Security spokesman, the culprits shall be avenged but so far they have not yet decided what the response shall be.
Sony Corp (ADR) (SNE) Pictures planned on launching their controversial comedy movie 'The Interview'. The plot of the movie narrated the murder of a North Korean revolutionist Kim Jong Un. This led to some hackers making their way to the servers of Sony Pictures and thus became an imminent threat to movie cinemas. McCain also encouraged Sony to exhibit the movie free of cost on the online medium.
The entire United States government condemns cyber breaches and will not take cyber warfare lightly. McCain adds that the problem with American economy is that they do not understand the sensitivity of cyber attacks.
Sony Corporation took a fairly bold move to come up with a bizarre plot for 'The Interview'. This does not involve the hacking but in general, the entire movie is a bit hard to digest.
The intellects at Sony made sure to leave no stone un-turned on their quest to produce something extremely delusional similar to a third world fantasy. The story revolves around CIA who hires two journalists belonging to United States. They embark on a mission to assassinate Kim Jong-un who is a Korean madman.
Apparently this project is a comedic venture that will break your nerves. The script writers are demanding quite a lot from viewers since the expect them to believe in the illegal assassination of a living being and that even with his face melting and flesh exploding. Either Sony expects viewers to pull the plug out or develop the virtue of patience.
The movie gives birth to a conspiracy that actually poses American journalist as spies of the government. This has actually led to the death of some courageous journalist.
This cannot be considered as a gateway of excuses to the cyber theft secrets of Sony. But certainly this rings a bell regarding the distortion Sony is experiencing long before the hackers attacked.
