Following one of the world's largest hacks on Sony Pictures servers, a lot...and I mean huge chunks of vital information were stolen and most it posted online.
The cyber attack brought to light embarrassing email, confidential staff information and Sony's projects among them,'The Interview'.
The controversial movie, depicts North Korea's supreme leader, Kim Jung-Un, assassination and this did not go down so well with Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
The hackers, who it is believed have links to North Korea, made several demands to Sony and among them was the movie not being released.
Several movie theaters pulled out of screening the movie and Sony followed suite by saying they had withdrawn the movie. The hackers, it seemed, had managed to scare the mighty corporate entities in manner not experienced it the modern day age.
It seems hackers may just have scored a big win against corporates and this might set a precedent for 2015 as the year of the hack.
Watch the trailer below
Here is the scene that had North Korea terming the movie as an act of war
