Funny about Sony........




Crippling Cyberattack Left Sony Pictures Executives Scrambling for BlackBerry Devices
Security
12.31.14 / Eric Lai

When its corporate e-mail servers were taken down by hackers last month, Sony Pictures was able to rebuild mobile e-mail access for its executives only via BlackBerry devices, reported The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times on Tuesday.

Sony “unearthed a cache of BlackBerrys, which still worked because they send and receive email via their own servers,” reported the Journal. The BlackBerry devices, along with other tactics, were key to the efforts of Sony’s IT department to keep its 6,000 employees productive in the aftermath of the cyberattack, which took down computers and landline phones during Thanksgiving week, as well as resulted in the temporary halting of the distribution of the movie, “The Interview.”

Only BlackBerry e-mail continued to work for executives at Sony Pictures (Los Angeles headquarters pictured here) after a cyberattack crippled its e-mail servers.

“If there’s one company that’s gotten a bit of good press from the Sony Corp. hacking scandal, it’s BlackBerry,” was the assessment of Bloomberg News, while SlashGear called us Sony’s “surprising savior”. Engadget, our friends at N4BB, and many other publications have also taken notice.

It should be pointed out that world leaders such as President Obama, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, UK Prime Minister David Cameron, and many others all rely on BlackBerry devices for their proven security. Merkel, for instance, uses a modern BlackBerry 10-based device that is specially hardened with strong encryption technology from our recent acquisition, Secusmart, that is capable of even preventing SS7-based surveillance. Also, analysts laud the latest version of our enterprise mobility management platform, BES12, as the “most comprehensive end-to-end mobile security solution” around.

PC Magazine’s Sasha Sagan had predicted two weeks ago that the Sony hack would help draw CEO attention to the importance of strong mobile security and proven solutions such as BES12.

“Maybe companies will need to hire some more IT people and actually think about managing their data. If not, this will happen again, more often than not,” he wrote. “Calling up the folks who sell BlackBerry Enterprise Server [BES] might be a start.”

About Eric Lai

I have written about technology and mobility for Computerworld, ZDNet, Forbes and others. I continue to track and opine about the latest news and trends in enterprise mobility for BlackBerry. Follow me on Twitter (ericylai)

[92redragtop]

Both my wife and I are still on BlackBerry - both Q10's (mine is from work but use it for personal as well - got an iPhone for music etc but don't really use it for anything else as it's a pain to type on it. Love a real keyboard!). The BB is the only mobile device we have that I would do any kind of a financial transaction on (credit card, banking, etc).

[WTF]

Got a call from the air duct cleaners again last night
kept him on the phone for a while. told him I lived in a 3500 square foot house... which I don't.
then he finally went on to talk about the service package he can give me.

so I said "Oh yeah? Cause I gave your mom my package last night."
he replies "you did, huh?"
So I say "yeah. She was a limping a bit, but the blood running down her leg made her feel accomplished"

he hung up on me at that point.

The End.

Yes, I believe it was him. The needed a bank card to launch it. It also put Amex on the map here in Canada when they signed on as well. They went from a charge card only setup with a revolving card tied to the charge card so a full fledged revolving credit card portfolio starting with their AM credit card.

I had my car in pieces for the third time at that point last year. The BBQ was a great pick me up. Once I find out when all the other main stream events are, July 18 will be confirmed. Right now that date looks like it slides into the schedule perfectly. No big races or shows so far that Saturday. And no long weekend lol. I hope we can get an even larger turn out this year.

The financial carnage continues to spread from the Swiss National Bank’s decision to abandon its currency peg with the euro. Two foreign exchange trading platforms have already declared insolvency, Global Brokers NZ Ltd. in New Zealand and Alpira UK Limited in London. There are also morbid rumours surrounding Swiss-based Dukascopy Bank SA on Twitter. In the U.S., FXCM Inc. appears to be in its death throes, trading 75 per cent lower in pre-market trading.

The forex traders do not, however, represent a systemic risk to the financial system. The damage to global macroeconomic-focused hedge funds is a bigger issue for investors. Business Insider attempted to survey the damage,

“Large global macro hedge funds with big short positions in the Swiss franc, are staring massive losses in the face after the Swiss National Bank shocked markets…Data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission released on Friday showed net short positions of 24,171 contracts on the Swiss franc, the largest since June 2013. Adding in 662 short option contracts gives a combined position of 24,833 contracts or $3.5-billion at the current rate of around 0.90 franc to the dollar.”

Funding application I'm working on with another org wants 3 years of audited financial statement. I send the person compiling the application them our audited '11, '12, '13 statements. Get a phone call from someone there saying "oh you sent '11, '12, and '13, wheres '14 because we are now in '15". Spent the better part of 20 minutes trying to explain to them that I wont have audited '14 statements until March which is when our auditors come in, to which they still don't understand but said ok and hung up. Now I just got CC'd in an email to my boss asking when I will be providing '14 audited Financials and can it be by next Friday.

In slow mo you can see bricks bouncing onto the road falling out of the back of the truck. Crazy stuff. Life lost because of an unsecured load. When I was a kid our family was on a road trip. Big bench seat in the front. My parents asked if I wanted to sit up front with them. Good thing I didn't because some idiot threw a beer bottle at our car and it took out the windshield. Glass everywhere. The police couldn't believe the bottle broke the window. Just hit it the right way I guess.

Richard,

Can you dumb this down for me?

LOL yeah mattress would be good. During the recent global meltdown money was flowing out of Euro and USD and into Swiss francs as a safe haven which made it stronger against the Euro and USD. This about what happened to Canadian manufacturing, exports, etc when the CDN dollar is strong against the USD, etc - these areas suffer. Swiss wanted to protect their manufacturing/exports so set a limit of 1.20 francs to a Euro (like we have almost 1.20 CDN to 1.0 USD). If it was going below this towards 1.0 then the Swiss Central Bank (SNB) would intervene (basically print currency). The ECB is expected to start their own currency printing soon which would have made the Swiss strategy unsustainable so they surprised everyone (on purpose) and got rid of the 1.20 limit which will impact Swiss employment, exports, etc as the franc strengthens against the Euro. A lot of financial players used the 1.20 limit in their investments/strategies so having the proverbial rug pulled out from under them could mean significant losses (several have already stated they will take larges losses) and bankruptcies (at least 2 currency traders/exchanges filed for bankruptcy as of Thursday already and the fallout will continue). It's always buyer beware but still unexpected from players (like the Swiss) that generally are safe, predictable bets. Comes at a time when the financial markets are already experiencing a variety of shocks (oil, terrorism, Russia, etc).

The good ol carry trade. When volatility picks up these things get hammered because of their positively skewed distributions. Many small gains then few huge losses.

The movie was Duel with Dennis Weaver directed by Spielberg

Read it somewhere. The sound effect when jaws blows up and is sinking is the same as when the truck is going over the cliff.

[Armen]

Yes I know.... we've had this talk before.

Jaws was a Peter Benchley book published in 74 and made into a film in 75.

Duel was writtenby Richard Matheson and it was made into a film in 71.

Spielberg directed both but one isn't a prequel to the other. The roaring dinosaur effect was used in both, but that's it.

[Not4you]

Ok. Prequel is lost in semantics. There are far more similarities than the dinosaur sound.

[Armen]

Ok. Prequel is lost in semantics. There are far more similarities than the dinosaur sound.

Sigh.... The Dino sound is a fun bit that Spielberg put in Jaws as a little nod to Duel.

And yes big stalking truck and big stalking shark... Similar in that they are both the monster.

But Duel isn't a prequel to Jaws.

Hannibal is a prequel to Silence of the Lamb.

SW Phantom Menace was a prequel to SW A New Hope.

It's not semantics. You just have misused the word 'prequel'.
