Sony Pictures

Sony Pictures appears in 当黑客攻破了日本的国民啤酒，除了鞠躬道歉，他们还能做什么？feat.Top of Japan as a contrast case to Asahi Group / 朝日集团. The hosts discuss the 2014 Sony Pictures hack to show that some data loss cannot be solved by restoration alone: unreleased films, employee information, and private communications can lose value or cause harm once exposed.

The case widens the episode’s security lesson. Offline Backup Recovery Drills can restore encrypted systems, but leaked information may still create business, legal, and reputational damage. This distinguishes operational recovery from confidentiality recovery.
