    All of Sony only contains 6000 files? I always thought they were a giant multinational, who knew Sony was just two guys running the operation out of their apartment?

            No need to imagine. A lot of dump (map data, user data, etc) can reach the gigabytes and terabytes and are done in JSON. Good tools will stream the data and filter it anyway (like jq). You don’t need the whole file in memory.

      I’d bet that they use cloud based file shares and these hackers have not actually breached all of their systems. Either that or they’re saying only 6000 files contain interesting data that would be worth leaking.

      Last time they were hacked, that I know of, it was a simple SQL injection that did them. Sony seems to be hiring lowest experienced people around or simply doesn’t care about security, or both. Am not surprised by anything anymore related to Sony.
