Sony
asks media to ignore hacked emails
Sony
Pictures Entertainment has sent a letter to several media outlets
threatening possible legal action if they report the contents of
stolen film studio documents that were leaked online, following a
cyberattack
last month.
In a
blunt letter written by one of the top lawyers in the US, Sony’s
movie unit asked media organisations including New York Times, The
Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg News and The Hollywood Reporter to
destroy “stolen information”, which includes documents, personal
data and emails.
“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.
Petty
but predictable.
Anonymous
hacks Swedish govt emails over seizure of Pirate Bay servers
Swedish
government email accounts have been hacked by the Anonymous
hacktivist group, in response to last week’s seizure of The Pirate
Bay servers by Swedish police.
The
group also claims to have hacked
into the government email accounts of Israel, India, Brazil,
Argentina, and Mexico.

is buying weapons - a lot of them
…
Russia has begun investing heavily in upgrades to its military
capabilities. President Vladimir Putin plans to spend more than 20
trillion rubles ($700 billion) bringing equipment up to date by 2025.

The
Rouble Is Tumbling Again
The
Russian rouble tumbled to another record low on Monday as doubts
surrounding the country intensify.
Russia's
currency is threatening to cross 60 roubles to the dollar, a new low
that is likely to trigger greater concern over the central bank's
efforts to prevent rouble falls from impacting the country's
financial stability.
…
Last week news broke that Russian state-owned oil company Rosneft,
which faces a $6.88 billion loan repayment on December 21, sold 625
billion roubles ($10.8 billion) of 6- and 10-year notes into the
local market at yields
below those on equivalent Russian gov securities.
Bloomberg
reported that the debt sale was a back-door refinancing of the
company by the Russian central bank, as it simultaneously
announced that exchange-traded Rosneft bonds would be eligible to be
used as collateral in an unprecedented 700 billion ruble
liquidity auction on Monday. The move was unusually swift, according
to analysts, and is indicative of the problems facing even some of
Russia' s largest companies.
