If you get hacked by the Chinese or the Russians, well, there’s no real shame in that because they’re that good. It’s only embarrassing to get hacked by Anonymous if it happens twice.
But, damn, if you let yourself get hacked by a country where electrification is a Potemkin village policy and that uses early 1990s computers in the HQ of its air defense command puts a 1980’s era computer on the desk of its semi-divine leader, and, in particular, when this happens after you’ve already been deeply embarrassed by repeated Anonymous hacks, you really, really need to to track down the MBA management dimwit who’s pinching pennies in IT and fire his ass. (Though, Sony being Sony, they’ll probably promote him instead.)
Update: Based on my perusal of Google images, they evidently got embarrassed by earlier photos showing a big IBM XT style box and a CRT on his desk and bought him an iMac. It is unknown at this time whether the procurement officer responsible for the XT was sentenced to be executed by flamethrower or eaten by starving dogs.
