Before you read the tweet below, I recommend reading ‘North Korean Sony Pictures Hackers Still Out There‘ and ‘Apple’s Strong Stance on Privacy and Why Sony Must Follow.’ Now, what Sony Entertainment CEO, Michael Lynton, said at CodeMedia:
wow. Sony’s Michael Lynton says, post hack, “My fax machine is in great use at this point. I write it out by hand.” #codemedia

Apparently the audience laughed at the comment, when Lynton followed up with
No, really.
Lynton went on to say
Slowing things down for a minute is not necessarily the worst thing.
I know this isn’t the tech division of Sony but really? Either Lynton is hyper paranoid and is also preparing for a Communist invasion (imagine the fun of dealing with a boss who is using a fax machine) or it tells you that a year later, top brass at SPE still have little confidence in their own network security. And Sony wants to push more services into the cloud. Ideally, after the cyberattack Sony Pictures fell victim to, you’d like the company to instill confidence in its employees and consumers – not stick their tail between their legs and whimper.
No, really – read ‘Apple’s Strong Stance on Privacy and Why Sony Must Follow.’
Discuss:
Do you think Lynton is hyper paranoid or has little confidence in their own security?
