President Barack Obama Vulcan salute Leonard Nimoy

Today, the world mourns the death of the great Leonard Nimoy, best known for bringing to life the character of Mr. Spock on Star Trek.

But this is not just about the studio canceling the release of a movie; the current situation in Hollywood has gained international attention. U.S. Intelligence confirmed that the hackers who broke into the studio’s computer network, leaking emails and acquiring confidential and personal data, were the North Koreans.
