The Terrorists Really Have Won

Sony gets hacked by cyber terrorists (maybe, possibly North Korea itself). The hackers release sensitive information. Then, the hackers threaten to blow up movie theaters if the new Seth Rogan movie is released. All of the movie theater chains drop the movie. Sony then also decides not to release the movie. (Full details are here)

Literally, this is all the cyber terrorists wanted, and they got it.

I'm sure they've learned a valuable lesson here.

Seth Rogan has somehow created an international crisis. Now that's a shocking development.
