Companies around the world are now on high alert after a crippling cyber attack against sony. Federal investigators are said to have traced the attack to north korean government and kim jongun. Its being carefully considered by the president S National Security team. They say they used a datawiping malware to steal sonys corporate secrets and erase the companys computer files. They then escalated the threats against moviegoers leaving sony to scrap its release. Jimmy kimmel tweeted its an unamerican act of cowardiess. Imagine if they have opportunities to attack over aspects of american life. If there were any violence the liability for sony and for the exhibiter, the theater owner, would have been enormous.
