I wonder what the consequences of this leak will be - The Wolverine cancellation? Complete reboot?
I wonder what the consequences will be on the security side. I can guarantee you that people got fired and there were long meetings with the C suite and General Counsel on how to proceed. It's a strong possibly the CTO is gonna get replaced as well.
One thing I find interesting is that it appears Insomniac
DOES NOT have a Chief Information Security Officer as a part of their executive team.
The crazy part is Sony already went through the exact same thing during it's 2011 PSN hack. It wasn't until they had their massive breach that they finally created the CISO position.
Sony announced its creating a post of chief information security officer as a result of a breach that exposed personally identifiable information of some 77 million

If Insomniac doesn't have a CISO then they more than likely don't have a mature security program either. I'd love to read the post-exploitation write up to learn what attack vectors were used. If I had to guess, it was a spearphishing attack which allowed them to get some credentials, then they exploited some unpatched machines to do privilege escalation.
