10 years later: The Sony Pictures hack

 

On Monday, November 24, 2014, employees at Sony Pictures arrived at the movie studio ready to get to work, but soon became clear it would not be a day like any other. Their computers were all down, taken over by some kind of malware, displaying a red skull on their screens. There was also a message, from a group calling themselves the Guardians of Peace. “This is just the beginning,” the hackers said, warning that “weve obtained all your internal data,” threatening to release it all. It would become one of the most notorious hacks of all time.
