Act out the most. >> is sony at risk for more of these cyber attacks? basically destroyed their entire computer system. all their hard drives them wound up with nothing. they couldnt even figure out how to do pay roll because the systems were down. >> they are still struggling to get back online in some cases. i think theres very real threat of more private data being leaked. we know the hackers have not published everything they have. i think pamela browns reporting was very important a couple ...
