"Guardians of Peace" sounds like an elaborate troll. Yes the hack was significant, but I can't imagine the people responsible can do any damage to these movie theaters beyond ordering a bunch of pizzas to their address.
- yongjik 12y agoYeah it sounds more and more like someone doing it "for lulz". North Korea will never bomb an American theater, unless they developed a suicidal urge for sudden and forceful "liberation". Maybe, given the hyperbolic rhetoric they are fond of using, they might feel perfectly OK threatening to unleash "a sea of fire" on the US, but I doubt even North Koreans are taking these expressions seriously.
- xienze 12y agoWhether or not NK can attack an American theater isn't really the issue (they can't). What was accomplished was planting the seed that something could happen at a theater if the movie was released. I could easily see some nutcase acting on his own behalf attacking a screening of the movie, and then the fallout from "Sony was warned and they showed the movie anyway!!!" would be massive. Honestly, I would've made the same call.
