Having confirmed unequivocally, in a statement by the FBI and reiterated by President Obama, that "the North Korean government is responsible" for hacking Sony, it appears the YouTube-less 'evidence' the FBI provided is being questioned by the hacking-collective 'Anonymous' and former Lulzsec hacker Sabu. As The Daily Beast reports, the hackers blasted, the North Koreans "don’t have the technical capabilities," and added "we all know the hacks didn't come from North Korea, and "all of the evidence FBI cites would be trivial things to do if a hacker was trying to misdirect attention to DPRK." Meanwhile, 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 - a series of gyrating animated bodies shrieking, "You are an idiot!"

I would not be terribly surprised to find out that the NSA did the deed. CUI BONO re censhorship of the media by fear of tech?
This administration naming DPRK as the source is why I believe it is not the DPRK.
I agree with Anonymous on this one. I was one of the first on-record here at FR calling "bullshit" on the charge that North Korea was responsible. I further pointed out they don't have the facilities, internet infrastructure, or the intellectual capacity to pull off a hack like this.
So who does? China. The same country that is responsible for North Korea's daily sustinence. The same country which North Korea takes its marching orders from.
If it's not China, then this entire fiasco has been orchestrated by the Obama Administration itself as an experiment on how to best implement censorship on free speech.
Imagine, a Free Society being convinced that "self censorship" is in its own best interest.
Yup, that's what's happening to a large degree.
Certainly witihn the realm of possibilities IMO ...
Our NSA did the hack because their scan program reported the Obama jokes that the Sony executives were telling each other.
The NSA is just blaming the hack on their designated fall guy...a bit like dirty cops pinning their inside job robbery on a serial killer...someone a jury would never believe over a cop.
This is why letting the NSA read all of our emails is a bad thing.
Gene Hackman.
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.
‘This administration naming DPRK as the source is why I believe it is not the DPRK.”
that’s how I always try to figure out the truth.
and, the beauty part is, whether Clinton or warren wins, the same logic will still work.
NK is a cat’s paw.
I should have known, thank you.
...and Will Smith?
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!

Absolutely. With their history of blaming crappy videos it’s amazing anyone believes this BS. This is corp blackmail with inside help.
Net Neutrality is the goal, because places like FR the Zeros would like to eliminate, no criticism.
Who says ANYONE has to benefit? My guess is that it's just a group of hackers, either domestic or abroad, who have chosen to raise havoc with Sony.......
Sometimes the simplest answer is overlooked........
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.
This is the same idiocy they dreamed up on Fast -N- Furious, and they got caught then too.
Not exactly but they were going to Blame American gun owners for all the killing that their
own administration created the opportunity for by giving guns away. This time their war plans will
bite them all in the ass again because the truth will again leak out about this other fiasco.
Every Corporation out there is a target from this Administration because
the Emperor has no clothes on and he cannot stand being talked about behind his back.
Narcissistic ego in his psychopathic world. He's spying on everybody, because he Can
get away with it.
