Suspect accused of the Sony hack, found dead after FBI manhunt

Loretta Stone, a former Sony cybersecurity manager, was suspected of the massive cyberattack against Sony.

Stone worked in a 'key technical' position in Sony for 10 years but was sent packing in May during a large sweep of lay-offs. Stone used an alias "Lena" then joined to the "Guardians of Peace" hacker group looking for revenge.

The FBI had joined the manhunt which discovered Stone's body in the woods near his home. Stone's whereabouts were unknown before her body was discovered in the forest on Monday.

According to police, the 35-year-old suspect, Stone, was found dead in an apparent suicide. Stone was accused of releasing confidential data included personal information about Sony Pictures employees and their families, e-mails between employees, information about executive salaries at the company, copies of unreleased Sony films, and other information.

Media outlets reported that Stone suffered from post traumatic stress disorder.
