The tech firm has reportedly shut down its computer network as a precaution and advised employees that resolving the situation could take anywhere from one day to three weeks.Meanwhile, an anonymous user on the Reddit news website posted an image allegedly from a Sony computer screen, which said “Warning: We’ve already warned you, and this is just the beginning… We have obtained all your internal data including secrets and top secrets“.
#GOP has already leaked a large ZIP file containing two massive lists detailing the extent of the doxxing. Most of what’s inside appears to be from the Sony Pictures finance department, including the stuff of IT guy nightmares: Excel sheets and ZIP files that appear to be full of passwords. There’s even a text file that helpfully lists the last 10 recently used passwords for something at Sony.
The entire .zip file of leaked information weighs in at 217 MB. In addition to the breach and data leak, it appears that the attackers had their way with several of the Twitter accounts owned by Sony Pictures. It is unclear as to the motivations of the group that was apparently behind today’s events. Hopefully once the dust settles we’ll learn more about the attack.
In its latest research, the firm said that experts estimate that at least 25% of all companies have already suffered financial loss through some form of cyber attack.
