An article on The Hollywood Reporter has some more information on this, including perspectives from sources elsewhere within the industry: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/sony-hack-studio-secur...

"It's changing our business," says one producer of its impact on Hollywood. "From now on, money and time will be allocated by studios to deal with this full-time."

...as it should have been already, given how big and how valuable a target these companies are.

Shame that most of Sony's Finance and HR are blaming the IT department - so bloody typical!

"Everyone’s looking to the IT department to say, ‘How did you let this happen?'" said one employee in Sony Pictures’ finance department." http://fusion.net/story/31116/inside-sony-pictures-employees...


I work in an IT department. Pretty sure IT Security would be the responsibility of somebody here.


I worked in an IT department for a communications company that worked with AT&T where, at least once a month, I would find a different way to suggest to a different team lead to check out EMET in case we ever got targeted.

It got ignored.

If they ever get hacked, I won't be surprised.


Yeah, who is routinely ignored by the rest because they are too busy with deadlines or something.


do you work somewhere where management/the board outranks IT and can decide "that sounds too expensive."
