Sony has once again been hacked, though this time, its their film company.
Sony Pictures Entertainment was hacked by a group named the Guardians of Peace on Monday, according to BBC News. The attack reportedly made the company turn off its computers and other systems. A threat to release secrets from the company and demands were also revealed by the hackers on Sony’s office computers and on an anonymous post in Reddit.
Variety reported that the hack was severe enough that Sony told its employees to not access the company’s online systems or e-mails, as well as shut down Wi-Fi reception on their phones and tablets, among other technology. The employees were also told that it could take one day to three weeks to fix the hack.
This isn’t the first major hack to have happened in Sony’s history. Variety described an attack on the company’s Playstation Network in 2011 that allowed hackers to release many customers’ names and passwords. Another hack recently happened in August again on the PSN, though Sony claimed none of the users’ personal information was stolen that time.
