"A lot of people feel for Sony Pictures and CEO Michael Lynton in
particular. No one wants their inbox flung all over the Internet for
the world to see. Many say the Sony hack is by far the most
embarrassing hack. But the worst?"

Absolutely not. Not even close. Sony is playing this up for all they
can, in hopes of getting the DMCA/SOPA forces the juice they need to
basically take over the Net. Sony had garbage security, and someone --
it doesn't really matter who -- took advantage of that for a basically
simplistic hack. Nobody killed, the power stayed on, no dam floodgates
opened. The world keeps spinning. Frankly, the more I hear about this
from Sony and their minions, the less I care about their particular
plight itself.
