A lower court had granted Neiman Marcus's motion for dismissal of a suit but the plaintiffs are trying to revive it on appeal.

Hackers linked to the Sony Pictures attack could now use the malware to dupe new targets, Kaspersky revealed.

In an email sent to Sony Pictures' CEO and co-chairman hackers requested "monetary compensation."

The 2012 breach, which occurred when two unencrypted backup tapes went missing, affected 260,000 people nationwide.

Meanwhile, an internal email between execs at Sony Pictures and Mandiant, the forensics unit tapped to investigate the breach, leaked to the press.

As 2014 draws to a close we can look back over one of the most tumultuous years in recent history.

Information exposed in the breach reportedly ranges from thousands of Social Security numbers to sensitive HR and proprietary data.

Should we rush out signatures for this latest version of malware, or should we take a step back and figure out how to focus our technology and security operations around identifying attackers before they wreak such havoc?
