So now what? Was this an attack on America? Japan? Both? Simply a crime against a private company? Extortion of individuals information in exchange for canning the movie? If so, where's the jurisdiction?
At this point, I'd release the movie. Clearly the threats of terrorist attacks are just that: empty threats. NK is not that stupid.
Or would they attack Japan or SK if it were released? What a total CF.

I’m guessing this will lead to an attack on the American people that will flow from the pen of the Emperor.

Here’s the update so far:
“The Obama administration says it’s determined the North Korean government was behind a devastating hacking attack against Sony Pictures Entertainment.
The FBI announcement Friday is the first official statement blaming the isolated country for the cyber-attack.
In the statement, federal officials say they found similarities between the tools used in the Sony attack and previous hacks linked to North Korea.”

the problem is, who in the right mind believes anything the US government says?
To: TangledUpInBlue
Its a civil matter.
I’m sure laws were broken, but I’ll be damned if I want to wage nuclear war over the idiots at Sony.

I have trouble believing anything our current government says, including the FBI. Maybe it was some 22 year old nerd in his parent’s basement.

Dittoes on that. Most Americans have greater respect and admiration for Putin over Obama. And at the rate Obama is going - his approval ratings over Jong-un may be in doubt also.

Yeah something stinks about this whole thing and it strangely seems to be falling easily into Obama and the race baiting industry laps.

Clearly the threats of terrorist attacks are just that: empty threats. NK is not that stupid.Maybe so, but the fact that the movie was pulled, and theaters around the country refused to show it if it was released is pretty significant. It shows that there is no confidence in the Obama administration's ability (or willingness) to protect the homeland.
To: TangledUpInBlue
C'mon. Some really creative hackers thought it would be funny to hack Sony and get North Korea blamed for being really, really angry about some movie. How would North Korea even have been aware of the movie and its contents in the time it would take to engineer this hack?
My scenario makes more sense than North Korea being this creative and capable does.

Or is this just another of NK’s tantrums to secure the latest round of food aid.

It was not an attack on America but on a private company involving many outside connections (the leaked info). I imagine they perceived it as an attack on North Korea.
Make no mistake. It could easily become an attack on the U.S. if they choose to make it that. Certainly it became a threat to the U.S. But the only actions were against a company and its contacts.

I don’t think it has anything to do with NK.
Al Sharpton has already gotten a promise from Sony to run movies past him first and now the Emperor is going to speak on cyber security today.
