Sony Pictures Entertainment hack → Sony Pictures hackSony Pictures hack – See Talk:Sony Pictures#Requested move 28 October 2016. Per WP:CONCISE and WP:COMMONNAME. 2A02:C7D:561D:1D00:45A4:FE85:E725:556E (talk) 21:09, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

• Support to be consistent with the mentioned move. We used "SPE" originally only because that was the article name for the company on WP at the time, as to avoid the far-too-simple "Sony hack" that news sources preferred to use. --MASEM (t) 22:51, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
• Support per nomination. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 22:59, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
• Support per consistency with Sony Pictures. CookieMonster755 𝚨-𝛀 23:16, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
• I would prefer "Sony hack". People know what that means, even though it's semantically inexact.--Jack Upland (talk) 09:26, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
  • That's too imprecise because that could then refer to a hack that happened across Sony's Playstation Network, a isolated incident from this (though far less reported), as at least one example. --MASEM (t) 14:52, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Funny paragraph

"Seth Rogen also expressed doubts about the claims that North Korea was behind the hack. Based on the timeline of events and the amount of information hacked, he believes the hack may have been conducted by a Sony employee. "I've also heard people say that they think someone was hired to do the hack as a way of getting Amy Pascal fired. I don't know if I subscribe to those theories, but I kind of don't think it was North Korea.""

Does anyone give a shit what Seth Rogan thinks about this? Just a thought... Mercster (talk) 08:41, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

Citation for the very last sentence in the lede

I don't know how to edit but in Josephine Wolff's book "You'll see this message when it's too late" she discusses how Novetta,a cybersec firm, disagreed with the US government that North Korea was responsible. 160.19.5.173 (talk) 21:57, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

excessive detail

In reading this article, I'm finding an excessive amount of detail. This article seems to be much longer than it needs to be. One example, I had to scroll two pages just to read the “Threats surrounding The Interview” section. While an important component of this topic, it could better be summarized in a few paragraphs. I’m finding other examples, too. I added the “too much detail” template message to this article and welcome other editors to help me improve it. Hannahthom7 (talk) 20:48, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

I think there are problems with the article, but I don't know if it warrants a banner - Certainly compared to anything in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=insource%3A%22%7B%7BExcessive+detail%22&title=Special%3ASearch&ns0=1&searchToken=28ibgcmwlkrakz24br0tvvb31 it seems quite reasonable...

I agree and have removed the tag. As of this post, the article has 4,000 words - nowhere near the threshold in WP:SIZERULE where spinning off the topic would be recommended. The "Threats surrounding the Interview" section above is already only a few paragraphs. If scrolling down a little is too much, you can navigate to the next section using the table of contents on the desktop, or collapse the section on mobile, but this is by no means too detailed.
