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…
