A line at the end of the article caught my eye: "Hackers claim to have taken at least 100 terabytes of Sony data, or about 10 times of the amount stored in the Library of Congress." Which struck me as very small. So I did some digging and it looks like as of 2009 (almost 6 years ago) the Library of Congress had 74 TB of online data available to the Internet. Additionally the U.S. Library of Congress Web Capture team claims that "as of March 2014, the Library has collected about 525 terabytes of web archive data" and that it adds about 5 terabytes per month. That just includes the web archive team which is one of 8 featured digital collections (http://www.loc.gov/library/libarch-digital.html http://www.loc.gov/library/libarch-digital.html). Here the LOC debunks the 10TB figure directly: http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2011/07/transferring-libraries-of-congress-of-data/ http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2011/07/transferrin... I'm not sure where the author got their figure, but they are way off the mark.
