The Sony Pictures hack went from from weird to unbelievable in a matter of days. Now, it’s just scary. Multiple sources are now saying that hackers sent Sony Pictures employees emails threatening to harm them and their family members. Said one employee, "It’s really crazy and scary."
That is indeed very crazy and scary. Variety reportedly got ahold of the actual email, claiming to be from GOP, the name the hackers are using. (It stands for Guardians of Peace.) And it is very crazy and scary. Check out the full email, per Variety:
