(Spoilers: In both cases, the answer is "It's not entirely certain just yet.") For the purposes of this round-up, this is the money shot: In addition to data including personal information and salaries of employees, "the stolen data also includes the script for an unreleased pilot by Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad as well as full copies of several Sony films, most of which have not been released in theaters yet. Where It Blew Up: Twitter, blogs, media thinkpieces What Really Happened: WIRED's Kim Zetter unsurprisingly had the best round-up of the story, looking into who was responsible and when it happened. What Happened: Someone hacked Sony Pictures Entertainment, and leaked some embarrassing things as proof: the financial details of those who work there, and also the new Annie remake.
