In response to threats of violence from hackers, Sony decided to cancel the release of The Interview, a movie about a plot to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The hackers, who call themselves the Guardians of Peace, threatened to attack cinemas that showed the film.
The US government has stated that they have strong evidence linking the cyber attacks on Sony to North Korea. The hackers targeted Sony in retaliation for the movie, which they perceive as an insult to their leader. However, some security experts believe that the evidence is not conclusive.
While the FBI determined that the threats were not credible, the decision to cancel the movie was based on concerns for the safety of moviegoers. The threats sparked a debate about freedom of expression and the power of hackers to suppress speech.
Many are questioning the ability of corporations to protect themselves from cyber attacks. The incident has highlighted the vulnerabilities of online systems and the need for stronger security measures.
The cancellation of The Interview has raised questions about the future of movie distribution. Some worry that studios will be more reluctant to produce controversial films for fear of reprisals.
The incident has strained diplomatic relations between the US and North Korea. The US government has condemned the cyber attack as an act of aggression, while North Korea denies any involvement and accuses the US of fabricating evidence.
