Sony Pictures CEO reassures employees that hacker attacks will not defeat us

After hackers hacked Sony's servers and leaked a large number of private e-mails, Sony executives vowed to reassure employees that they would surely recover from the huge network attack. Michael Lynton, Sony's CEO and chairman, held an internal meeting in the company's Calvert City office. Lynton told staff that the FBI's "highest level" department had also launched an investigation into the attack and appreciated the cohesion shown by the staff during this period. It is understood that today's meeting was originally scheduled to take place on Friday. Later, due to weather reasons, it was postponed to now. The number of participants in the meeting was so large that some even stood outside the first venue. According to vanity fair, New York employees had planned to attend the conference remotely, but had to stop because of technical problems. Vice President Amy Pascal held a separate private meeting to address the growing concerns of employees about potential threats to cybersecurity.
