Guardians of Peace

Guardians of Peace is a hacking group known for its cyberattacks, particularly against the entertainment industry. They gained notoriety in 2014 when they targeted Sony Pictures, leaking confidential information, emails, and unreleased films. The group claimed their actions were in protest against the movie "The Interview," which portrayed a fictional assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The attacks raised significant concerns about cybersecurity, freedom of expression, and the potential consequences of political dissent in the digital age. They highlight the ongoing challenges organizations face in protecting sensitive information from cyber threats and geopolitical tensions.
