Good on them for not paying up!
As each of the films has been worse then the previous one, I can't see the point in paying the ransom ;)
So WannaDecrypt0r was first a cyber attack, then believed to be by Russians, and now instead of Russians they think it was the North Koreans?
I haven't seen any hardcore details about it myself but given that it infected many of these high profile targets effectively by accident - someone clicked something they shouldn't and the network comes along for the ride - and the amateurish nature of the message delivery and design (asking for $300 per PC isn't what you do when you target high profile organisations, the entire thing being avoided by registering a domain, preying on a weakness already patched by MSoft) I can't believe people are still buying this state sponsored weapon type rubbishrubbish. Ugh, someone call it out for the people-in-a-shed-with-too-much-time work it is.
Back on topic, ISPs are sending mean emails to torrenters soon anyway, aren't they? Popular video sites like YouTube will go martial law on any uploads, they'd have to host their own website (and suffer Google removing it from search) to get any non-torrent exposure. Pirate business as usual. Barely even a threat to Disney..?
Pirates vs Pirates lol
Can we pay a ransom for them not to release it?Quote:

Mind you, you would have thought they would have tightened up security / supply chain security after the hack relating to The Interview from a while ago.
I was wondering why nobody caught on that xDQuote:
