What is the default position on any attack?
It’s the Feds until proven otherwise.
US Federal government (and their masters) are the biggest threat to Americans’ liberty.
Start with the criminals in DC and their masters.

“You mean to tell me they can afford the massive computing power needed to hack Sony?”
Yes, they have a couple of old pentium 100s laying around.
Seriously, it takes brains to hack companies not a supercomputer. All the tools are available for free except the computers.
I run a security company, its tragic how pathetic most companies secure their data. Note - I have no knowledge of Sony thats not public.

I would imagine you need something better than a PC made in 1992.

Unfortunately for the folks at Zero Hedge, they forget one thing:
the Korean War is technically not over--the truce agreement that ended hostilities in 1953 is NOT a peace treaty between North and South Korea. As such, North and South Korean military forces watch each other warily over the DMZ in what amounts to a equivalent of a DEFCON 2 combat condition. As such, both sides have to be extremely wary of even the simpliest provocation that could restart the war in a blink of an eye.
Given the increassingly unstable government in North Korea and its erratic international diplomacy since Kim Il-sung's death in 1994, not to mention their very close-minded view of the outside world, the North Korean government may be just insane enough to consider the showing of The Interview as a provocative act of war and may respond in an ugly fashion for all the wrong reasons. In short, Sony Entertainment pulled the film because it may increase the chance of putting millions of residents of the Seoul metropolitan region at risk, given that the North Koreans have long-range cannons that could lob shells into the Seoul area from just north of the DMZ.

Well ok, maybe one made in 1995 that still works.
I’d imagine Sony took about 15 seconds to hack.
