I Decided to Publish the Sony Hack Emails 10 Years Ago. Now I Regret It
Looking back at the Sony hack 10 years later and why Variety decided to publish the contents of the leak.
Of course, a little googling brought it all flooding back, a random hodgepodge of fairly gossipy tidbits: A Sony executive and a movie producer making crude, racist jokes about then President Obama. The great screenwriter Aaron Sorkin not only wrote an op-ed excoriating those like myself who published the contents of the Sony hack, but in his piece singled me out and even linked to my commentary (which I thought was really cool at the time!). I myself know of a few stories where financial documents were anonymous snail-mailed to me referring to all sorts of entertainment-industry dealings — in one instance fairly major — where I may have no idea how the info was obtained but once I confirmed it, I ran with it.
