索尼警告媒體不要發佈被竊取信息
Sony Pictures Entertainment has warned media outlets they could face legal action if they report the contents of stolen documents that were leaked online following a cyber attack last month.
索尼電影娛樂公司(Sony Pictures Entertainment)警告媒體機構稱，如果報道被盜取文件的內容，它們將面臨訴訟，在上月一次網絡攻擊後，這些文件被泄露至網上。In a blunt letter written by a top US lawyer, Sony’s film unit asked media organisations including The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg News and The Hollywood Reporter to destroy “stolen information”, which includes documents, personal data and emails.
在美國一高級律師撰寫的一封措辭直率的信件中，索尼電影娛樂公司要求媒體機構（包括《紐約時報》(The New York Times)、《華爾街日報》(Wall Street Journal)、彭博新聞通訊社(Bloomberg News)以及好萊塢報道(Hollywood Reporter)）銷燬“被盜取文件”，其中包括文件、個人信息和電郵。
“If you do not comply with this request and the Stolen Information is used or disseminated by you in any manner, SPE will have no choice but to hold you responsible for any damage or loss arising from such use or dissemination by you,” the letter warned, according to a copy posted online by The Hollywood Reporter.
據好萊塢報道在網上貼出的複印件，信中警告稱：“如果媒體不遵照這一要求，竊取信息被以任何方式使用或傳播，索尼電影娛樂只能要求媒體對信息使用或傳播所造成的任何損害或財務損失負責。”
The letter, dated Sunday, was signed by David Boies, a lawyer who has in the past represented Hank Greenberg, former AIG chief executive. Sony in Tokyo declined to comment on the letter.
這封信的日期是上週日，由過去一直代表美國國際集團(AIG)前首席執行官漢克•格林伯格(Hank Greenberg)的律師戴維•鮑爾斯(David Boies)簽署。位於東京的索尼拒絕就這封信置評。Sony Pictures’ move represents an attempt to contain the growing damage it has suffered after weeks of embarrassing leaks, including details of executives’ salaries, unpublished film scripts, sensitive contracts and candid exchanges about actors between Amy Pascal, Sony’s co-chair, and Scott Rudin, the Hollywood producer. Employees’ personal data have also been leaked, including social security numbers and health records.
索尼電影娛樂此舉表明，在令人尷尬的信息泄露數週後，該公司正試圖控制由此帶來的日趨嚴重的損害。泄露的信息包括高管薪資細節、未發表的電影劇本、敏感合約以及索尼聯席董事長艾米•帕斯卡爾(Amy Pascal)與好萊塢製片人斯科特•魯丁(Scott Rudin)之間就演員的坦誠交流。員工個人數據也遭到泄露，包括社保號碼和健康記錄。A computer hacking group calling itself “Guardians of Peace” has demanded that Sony Pictures stop the release of The Interview, a comedy about a farcical attempt to assassinate Kim Jong Un, the North Korean dictator. The group has threatened Sony Pictures with more releases of private information if it does not comply with the demand. North Korea has denied any involvement in the attack by hackers.
一個自稱爲“和平守護者”(Guardian of Peace)的電腦黑客組織要求索尼電影娛樂公司停止發佈喜劇片《刺殺金正恩》(The Interview)，這部電影一部有關企圖暗殺朝鮮獨裁者金正恩(Kim Jong Un)的虛構喜劇。該組織威脅索尼稱，如果索尼不順應他們的要求，將公佈更多私人信息。朝鮮否認參與此次由黑客發起的攻擊事件。
