Sony Pictures hack: how to save a bundle of cash through wilful negligence.

Sony Pictures’ computer network got comprehensively pwn3d recently, with huge amounts of confidential data being dumped to the world. Because everybody hates Sony, for excellent and ongoing reasons.

That’s what makes this 2007 interview with their Chief Information Officer such a delicious and tasty slice of schadenfreude pie.

“I sincerely believe that if we left it all up to the auditors to tell us what works, we wouldn’t have a business at the end of the day,” Spaltro says.

The hack has left film shoots stopped because Sony can’t process payments.

There’s also the most injured victims, the random low-level employees who just got fucked over by their upper management’s wilful negligence and incompetence. Your first reaction should be to wonder how competent your own bosses are in this respect.

  1. My bosses, by all accounts, run the NSA’s data storage (or at least the software it’s stored in). I fucking *hope* they’re competent at keeping it safe, or we’re *all* screwed.
