The hacker group country? North Korea? behind the Sony Pictures hack doesn’t seem to be done with the Hollywood studio quite yet. Since the original hacking which took place three weeks ago, the group has steadily released sensitive data from Sony Pictures. The released documents have ranged from embarrassing emails between executives with less than flattering language to financial results and accounting practices on films. While we’ve done our best to keep you up to date on this ongoing saga, we’ve decided to not post any of the revealed private information as we’d simply be furthering and helping the hackers in our opinion. You can read about our decision here.

Despite multiple massive data dumps which have included five films from Sony Pictures, four which are unreleased, the group promises more to come with the biggest one yet to be released on Christmas.

 We are preparing for you a Christmas gift 

After the jump, more details.

While direct communication with the group has been nearly impossible which makes verifying communication from them even harder, the group has released a new message, which was posted to the file-sharing site Pastebin, which they have used in the past:

 The gift will be larger quantities of data. And it will be more interesting. The gift will surely give you much more pleasure and put Sony Pictures into the worst state. 

With so much data already out in the wild about Sony Pictures, it remains to be seen what the group has in order for Christmas. Still, at this point, it’s hard not to take the threat seriously and assume that from the gigabytes worth of data they’ve stolen, that more information has yet to be released.

Discuss:

Do you think more exposed information will further hurt Sony Pictures, or have they reached a saturation point?
