I feel like that's not enough.

Yea I kinda got that vibe too, but only cause of the size of the security breach. $15 million goes a long way so a few dozen security professionals with some innovative efforts should be able to do it for that price, and if not at least they have enough money to try again.

2 years later...

"Hacker posts credit card information of all Sony executives..."

If in 2 years the security is so bad that a hacker manages to get all of the Sony executives' credit card information, I think the world can take that as a sign that Sony needs new executives, especially whoever is in charge of security.

According to one of the reports the whole Sony Pictures hack was an inside job by a disgruntled employee. Even the best security couldn't fix a problem like that. Such a complicated world we live in. I don't envy any technology company having to constatnly deal with threats from all angles.

Heh... That's pretty much any big technology company Badaxe.

15 million is nowhere near enough for a company as big as Sony corp.
