Gee who do you think is responsible then?
North Korean hackers are not based in N. Korea. They operate from a luxurious hotel in China, is what I understand.
That's what I was thinking.
regardless of who is responsible, I consider it a gift from God. It exposes Hollywood for who they really are.
The whole thing stinks.
Obama is clearly lying about wanting Sony to call him. After all they had just insulted him.
More lies from liars.
Believe nothing from this administration.
these are odd times...
Revolt everywhere... as Hunger Games battles with Hobbit in theaters.
Good vs Evil.... Part III
Time to deep-six one of their subs with no witnesses.
Hands up, Anonymous, as you're barking up the wrong tree YET AGAIN.
One thing we know for sure is that nothing this regime says can be trusted.
They should threaten to shutdown the picture industry unless the studios stop giving everything away in the trailer.
It is Dorkbama’s FBI.
Therefore, by definition, it is a lying, incompetent collection of idiots.
I believeth them NOT.
NO KIDDING...
IT IS A FALSE FLAG EVENT.
CYBER BILL....
In the wake of the Sony hack, both Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Michigan), the outgoing chair of the House Intelligence Committee, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California), the chair of the Senate’s panel, said Congress must pass a bill that will more easily allow the private and public sectors to share threat information, the likes of which may prevent future attacks from ever unfolding.
“This is only the latest example of the need for serious legislation to improve the sharing of information between the private sector and the government to help companies strengthen cybersecurity,” Sen. Feinstein said in a statement. “We must pass an information sharing bill as quickly as possible next .”
In October, Rep. Rogers said that the US government is in dire need of developing rules for waging offensive cyber operations, like the kind the president suggested could soon be launched against North Korea.
“This is a new dangerous form of warfare and international relations that, candidly, the United States, as a whole, is not prepared to handle,” Rogers said. “We are not prepared if the federal government decides that they want to take an offensive action or disruptive action in any significant way, even in response.”

North Korea is notorious for making threats around the world. It’s no secret they LOVE TO BRAG.....
Meanwhile, the rest of the world just laughs at North Korea’s threats and then nothing happens.
I think if North Korea was really doing this, then they would be bragging to the rest of the world about what they did.
North Korea can’t even feed their own people and have empty buildings.... They are a joke folks!
North Korea is way behind in many things, but we are suppose to believe they are computer hack experts??? Give me a break!
I heard one congressman saying the next time hackers going to shut down the electric grid and then Wall Street. So the Feds are going to have to control the Internet.
And THAT(paragraph above)... is what this is really about.
Remember the Administration tried two times before to regulate, tax and control the Internet. They HATE web sites like Free Republic and would love to shut it down. The reason why they targeted Sony is to get Hollywood and celebrities behind the feds controlling the internet.
Again North Korea are NOT computer experts. It’s a joke to even think that. If you are still not sure, then watch the video below of a North Korean computer lab snow job they tried to pull off.
Here is what you are going to see. A North Korean computer lab where at first looks normal. However, over a period of 15 to 20 minutes no one is typing on the keyboards. They are all just starring at the screen. For example, there is one guy just looking at the initial search page of google.com. He’s not typing in any search. He is just staring at the Google search web screen for 20 minutes and not typing anything. LOL!

There are two alternatives:
1. It’s China. You need massive computing power and know-how to crack into a (supposedly) heavily maintained server and not send up massive red-flags.
I suspect #2
2. A disgruntled high-level web security head lost his job and offered to sell his info to the highest bidder on the Darknet. The Norks came calling, but on foreign servers from different locations to hack, d/l, and expose as much crap as they could.
On Saturday afternoon, Guardians of Peace, the hacking group that’s so far claimed responsibility for wreaking havoc on Sony, posted a message online mocking the FBI’s investigation.
It is as follows:
“By GOP
The result of investigation by FBI is so excellent that you might have seen what we were doing with your own eyes.
We congratulate you success.
FBI is the BEST in the world.
You will find the gift for FBI at the following address.”
Then, they included a link to the following video titled “you are an idiot!”—essentially Rickrolling the FBI.
&&&
That message reads as though it had been written by someone who does not have English as his primary language.
Sad to think I’d believe the Norks before I’d believe this administration.
On a technical level, they are correct —the attacks physically originate from a large hotel in CHINA.
But that hotel is a China/DPRK joint-venture, and the DPRK has their cyber-warfare assets stationed there (good fiber, reliable, fast connection).
Unusual, but in the DPRK’s case, this makes sense.
