#Why It s Right To Report On The Sony Hack o one private life can totally withstand public scrutiny,
angrily blasting the media for reporting the private details revealed through the recent hack of Sony Pictures Entertainment, in
Meanwhile, Sony Pictures blithely ignoring the First amendment (and the Streisand effect) has threatened legal action against journalists reporting on the findings from the stolen documents.
Sorkin and Sony are both wrong. Sony may be a victim, but there is data in the breach that worth reporting to the public but not the social security numbers, private and personal information,
or insider-y emails about films. That those things were stolen, however? Yes. Especially since former employees weren even being made aware of the situation.
In addition, one of the largest takeaways is for other corporations to react to Sony cautionary tale
Sony Tries Silencing Reporters Sony hack was made worse by its poor security infrastructure, but that alone does not mean all the data needed to be revealed in detail by the press if that Sorkin critique,
Sony did not take the necessary protections to mitigate against this level of damage. The Sony hack was carried out by a group referring to itself as the uardians of Peace.
The group has demanded that Sony pull its upcoming movie he Interview, starring Seth Rogen and James Franco,
which was based on a fictional plot to assassinate North korean leader Kim Jong Un. The group has leaked a number of Sony movies online including the yet-to-be released remake of nnie, plus r. Turner, till Alice,
and o Write Love on Her Arms, alongside large data dumps from inside Sony corporate network.
The reaction, however, of hacking victims like Sony should not include tantrums like those now demonstrated by Sorkin and the studio itself.
They should only offer apologies to employees if they say anything at all. Apologies for making the hack just so damned easy,
Sony Pictures, one of the U s. largest studios, has now, somewhat ridiculously, asked journalists to destroy the stolen documents,
Sony botching of the Steve jobs movie, and racist riffs between studio co-chairman Amy Pascal and producer Scott Rudin about what President Obama favorite movies might be.
Beyond providing fodder for gossip blogs, the Sony hack has revealed also serious information that arguably more serving of the ublic interest.
The Sony hack has displayed a lot about the failing of our modern, wired corporate culture. Like just how casual internal company HR employees treat email communication, for example.
Sony, and likely other organizations that are currently fortunate enough to not have their poor security policies exposed,
Another key item that was revealed by journalists reporting on the Sony leak was that of Hollywood war against Google,
and the Sony emails discuss a variety of tactics to fight oliath, including site blocking,
t the beginning of this year, the MPAA and six studios Universal, Sony, Fox, Paramount, Warner bros.,
Sony Emails Could Be Your Emails Sorkin (and Sony) are fine to criticize reporterseditorial choices.
But Sorkin, in a nutshell, is wrong to say that reporting on the leaks is pectacularly dishonorableas a whole.
Sony emails could be your emails. They could be your company emails. Those could be your kids.
If an organization of Sony size is susceptible to hacking, anyone is. In the aftermath, Sony has hired now Fireeye Inc. Mandiant forensics unit to clean up this massive cyber attack,
as the FBI investigates the incident. But the immediate damage has been done and the damage may continue for some time.
Let it serve as a warning to everyone from corporate IT to everyday consumers to protect ourselvesr risk becoming the next Sony

#Samsung launches Portable 1tb SSD DRIVE Samsung has launched a portable SSD DRIVE with one terabyte capacity. The Samsung portable SSD DRIVE is with small form factor
and weighs only 30 grams. The SSD DRIVE measures 71x53 mm and is 9 mm thick.
Samsung has launched Portable SS T1 in 250gb, 500gb and 1tb variants. Samsung has offered an amazing portable storage option for consumers,
powered by 3d V-NAND memory technology. Samsung T1 series will support data transfer speed up to 450mb per second.
Samsung will offer the drive by the end of January in US European and Asian market, covering 14 countries during the first phase of launch.
Samsung SSD will work with both Windows and Mac computers. With dynamic thermal guard feature, Samsung T1 will automatically turn off during extreme temperatures.
Samsung offers three year warranty for the SSD. Samsung has packed a lot in a small size
and the company has placed a higher price tag on all the variants. Samsung T1 SSD 250 GB will cost $179. 99
while 500gb variant will put you down by $299. 99. The top end one terabyte portable SSD will cost $599. 99.
In the recent years SSD market has grown faster due to the data write and read speed.
Also, with improved performance, consumers don mind shelling out extra money for SSD. However, for internal SSD, the storage capacity has remained in the lower range.
The latest offering from Samsung is impressive. However, many technology experts feel that the higher price tag could be the only constraint for T1 SSD series i
