How they did it... The Sony Hack

Published: April 20, 2020, 10:30 a.m.

Coming up this week\u2019s episode, I know you guys love a good hacking story. This week, I\u2019m going to cover one of the best known \u2013 and one of the most controversial hacks of all time \u2013 the 2014 Sony Hack.

This is a story that has it all: state actors, poor cybersecurity practices, salacious information about the rich and famous. It\u2019s also a story that, at its core, is a sage lesson in how we \u2013 as organizations \u2013 ought to act when preventing, detecting and reacting to those who wish to do us harm.
