but the mass media spin can be used to make north korea the perfect target. for sony it is not about the truth it is about the spin and damage control. their employees are all going to need lifelock until they can change their social security numbers and possibly names. at least the lesser folk might and the upper folk will need new telephone numbers. sony has a credit card company too.
i have already seen the mass media jumping on the 'n korea' has uber hackers who get everything they want etc. these people deal with lies and manipulation. sure sony won't be able to connect and send data because of their reputation hit until the counter resets. just like home depot still is not sure how to do credit cards since using one there automatically makes your card company void you, same with target, now it is sony's turn to get blocked. who next? i don't predict the future, so i don't know.
what i do know is windows doesn't require a password to log in to a computer and not having it internet connected means it doesn't work as promised. i have seen in the wild people who can't figure out a usb port and field techs have just reinstalled for them clean as if that solves the problem. i finally set up an admin account for me on her box, and gave her a new clean account and took away admin on that and her old possibly compromised setup, and i got her a usb keyboard because the built in keyboard was not working right.
some people only deserve a smartphone and a bluetooth keyboard. sadly there is no real test for using anything more complex than a smartphone...
