Sony locationfree hack

All the details are below. Sony Pictures Entertainment employees arrived at work on 24 November, then sat at their desks like normal, and turned on their computers. It was a typical Monday morning, until their computer screens flashed a rather creepy image of red skull with a warning.

We will continue until our request be met, " the image claimed. If you don't obey us, we'll release data shown below to the world. If that wasn't ominous enough, Sony's Twitter account was also hacked. The account had posted a second image depicting the CEO of Sony Pictures Michael Lynton in hell, and many viewed this as proof that the cyber attack was and is real. The hack is being described as a blackmail attempt and has been linked to a group calling itself Guardians of Peace GOP , Bloomberg reported , citing an anonymous source.

One interview with someone purportedly from GOP said they had been stealing data from Sony for a year. Sony Pictures employees first became aware of the hack on that Monday, though it is unclear when the hack actually began. News of the hack only made headlines when someone claiming to be a former Sony employee posted a discussion note on Reddit, along with an image of the skull. The former employee added in a comment that current employees told him their email systems were down, and that in an attempt to prevent more damage, Sony administrators were shutting down its worldwide network and disabling VPN connections and Wi-Fi access.

An official announcement from President Obama was expected by 18 December. Before we go over North Korea's involvement, let's discuss The Interview. North Korean officials are reportedly upset with the film's plot, and a government official told North Korean state media last summer that the film is a "blatant act of terrorism and war" and would lead to "merciless" retaliation from the country if ever released.

Needless to say, all eyes were on North Korea when Sony became aware of the hack. Although North Korea has denied any involvement in the attack, and even issued strong statements declaring that it follows the "international norms" of banning hacking and piracy, according to Reuters , evidence has physically linked North Korea to the Sony hack.

Security companies like AlienVault are currently examining the malware code - which the FBI has released - used in the attack against Sony. Jaime Blasco, the director of AlienVault, found some of the code was written in Korean, indicating North Korea was involved. The hackers claim to have stolen about terabytes of sensitive data from Sony, and they've already leaked five Sony films online for free through file-sharing websites. Three other films, called Still Alice, Mr.

Turner, and To Write Love on Her Arms, have yet to be widely released but were among the leaked films. It is assumed the devastating attack will negatively affect the films' box office take as well as Sony's bottom line. It's also been reported that the script for an unreleased pilot by Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad, was leaked.

It's worth noting that The Interview has yet to be included in any of the leaks, which are currently releasing online in batches. An early version of the script for Spectre, the next James Bond film, has also surfaced. MGM and Danjaq own the rights to the script however, marking the first time a studio apart from Sony has been affected by the hack. More specifically, the gore in Kim Jong-un's death scene, Gawker reported. Apart from the films, internal documents containing Sony Pictures employees' personal information were leaked.

The documents included the names, titles, salaries, and social security numbers of more than 6, Sony Pictures employees, including top executives.

Region code hack posted by Aino, August 20 Oddly, when we attempted to stream via a neighbor's open wireless network from our home, it didn't work; we had to use the LF-PK1 as our entry point.

Another important caveat is that the video sources are completely under the control of anyone using the software--so if you log in from work and change the channel or start playing back a prerecorded show, anyone sitting on the sofa at home is forced to watch your new viewing choice as well.

As for video quality, the Sony LF-PK1's picture looks significantly better when you're streaming within the boundaries of your home network. At home, we were able to stream at the maximum rate--the least amount of compression--and the picture and sound, except during peak broadband usage in the evening, was mostly smooth and glitch-free.

However, when we streamed to our PSP at work, we had to increase the compression rate, resulting in a less sharp picture, in order to get a smooth stream. Of course, picture quality is largely dependent on how good both your upstream at home and downstream whatever Wi-Fi network you access are. We did notice that when we upgraded the firmware on the PSP to the most recent version, which featured some tweaks to the LocationFree application, picture quality improved slightly and we seemed to experience fewer dropouts.
