Sony Pictures hack

The Sony Pictures hack occurred in late 2014 when a group of hackers infiltrated the company’s computer systems. They leaked confidential data, including unreleased films, employee information, and internal emails, exposing sensitive communications and causing significant embarrassment. The attackers, who identified themselves as the "Guardians of Peace," demanded that Sony cancel the release of the movie "The Interview," a comedy about a plot to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The incident raised concerns about cybersecurity, corporate privacy, and the impact of geopolitical tensions on media companies, leading to discussions about security measures in the entertainment industry.
