New York Times, 18th Jan’15

• NSA saw “spear phishing” attacks on Sony in early September.

• In retrospect investigators determined that the North had stolen the “credentials” of a Sony systems administrator

• This allowed the hackers to roam freely inside Sony’s systems.

“Why Sony Didn't Learn From Its 2011 Hack”, 24th Dec’14

• The company has long had a reputation for operating in silos. SPE was most isolated

• “…their CIO should have implemented corporate-wide protection measures and beefed up info-sec training for employees that would be standardized across the organization,”
