I found it interesting that Sony Pictures laid off hundreds of employees in the last year. . . and i would bet a lot of those might have been in their IT department. How many backdoors do you think there might have been installed into their servers and other computers these systems engineers may have left for their own use to look at upcoming new releases and other goodies? Lots I would bet. Then they get fired from a lucrative Hollywood job? With the releasing of salary and compensation data. . . and movies that would hurt the company's bottom line, this smacks more of PAYBACK than anything else to me!
Payback is right! From fired employees.
In this ‘digital age’ one would have thought Sony would have added digital ID to each copy to facilitate leaked content. A little steganography goes a long ways...provided one thinks to use it.
