#2"Or that the company spent half a million this year in severance costs to terminate employees?"
That's not much. Is Wired trying to make me think that is a lot? Or are they trying to play it against the salary figures? Considering they spent valuable words in the first sentence to make it clear that the top brass is "mostly" white males I get the impression the comparison was supposed to mean something.

#4The North Korean theory seems silly. In fact, it's exactly what I might say publicly if I were Sony and I wanted to try and turn lemons (being hacked) into lemonade (free buzz about an upcoming movie). The movie Kim Jong-un doesn't want you to see!
In the end, I doubt there was any hacking involved at all: a disgruntled employee leaked documents. Perhaps Sony forgot to disable someone's password after giving them the axe.

From another article I saw [1] it appeared that there was half a million spent in severance for a single employee. Others were listed as well, in 100k range, and the article author left out the names of the employees.

#6"Pastebin—the unofficial cloud repository of hackers everywhere"
Are they referring to "http://pastebin.com/" ? if so is it really "the unoffical cloud repository of hackers everywhere" ? Is it really used often by hackers?
I thought reddit and 4chan are the more popular places to dump illegally gained information.

Very common. https://www.google.com/search?q=pastebin.com%20email%20and%2...
Don't they have some kind of policy to get rid of these things?

#10An article on The Hollywood Reporter has some more information on this, including perspectives from sources elsewhere within the industry: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/sony-hack-studio-secur...
"It's changing our business," says one producer of its impact on Hollywood. "From now on, money and time will be allocated by studios to deal with this full-time."
...as it should have been already, given how big and how valuable a target these companies are.
