“If you don’t obey us, we’ll release data shown below to the world,” read an ominous image taken from a computer at Sony Pictures Entertainment today (Nov. 24), after a malicious hacker or hackers apparently attacked the company network.
Activity at Sony Pictures has reportedly ground to a standstill, with most employees’ computer screens replaced by an eerie picture of a skeleton overlaid with the title “Hacked By #GOP.” The image, a photograph of which was posted to Reddit today by someone who claims a friend at Sony Pictures sent it to him, also claims that Sony Pictures’ “secrets” will be leaked online at 11 p.m. GMT tonight (6 p.m. EST).
