Probably the first notice about the incident: http://www.reddit.com/r/hacking/comments/2n9zhv/i_used_to_work_for_sony_pictures_my_friend_still/
If someone has more sources, just post 'em here. If you can edit my post, just update it.

Funniest quote so far...
While it seems that a world-leading tech company would be the last to be brought down by a hacker, this Sony thing is serious.
Seriously, wouldn't actual hackers aim for big companies?
And Sony has a real history with "high-tech security".
I'm pretty much a nerd in a lot of things, and I can go by as someone who knows a bit more about tech than most people. Sure I know how to build a custom-made computer, have more information about tech stuff than the other guy. But in all honesty, I'm not an expert, nor am a professional in these kind of things. I didn't study computer engineering, IT, or whatnot. So really, I have little to no clue about this. All I know is, Sony got hacked. Period.
What they did, how they did it, maybe some of you guys have more to say about this than me. Clearly I can't respond to what's happening.
ALTHOUGH, that image the hackers used seems very nostalgic to me. I'm not sure, but I feel like it came out from the 90s, and like I saw it somewhere before.

At first I was gonna say "PSN got hit AGAIN?" but no, this isn't PSN-related. That being said...This does not bode well.
That skeleton does look rather old though...Perhaps it's from an obscure album cover or music video.

Posting this* and getting it out of the way :3
*Please note that I am taking this seriously; this is a very serious issue, but this has also happened once before and is probably the reason I don't do much gaming with Sony products
