‘Arrests Imminent’ In Sony Hacking Scandal, Insiders Suspected Of Helping North Koreans
RADAR ONLINE ^ | 12/19/2014

Posted on 12/19/2014 1:13:01 PM PST by SeekAndFind

The Sony scandal may be about to take a giant turn.

An FBI source tells RadarOnline.com exclusively that arrests “are imminent” in the case that has rocked the major entertainment company over the past few weeks.

Radar can reveal that the FBI has been busy interviewing former Sony IT employees, and while the law enforcement agency believes that North Koreans are responsible for the hacking crimes, they must have had help from the inside.

Whoever did this had to have either been an insider or someone who had been an insider,” explains the source. “They knew where to go and what to look for to get maximum exposure for the hack.”

A security expert goes a step further and insists that there is no way the North Koreans could have pulled this off without help from the Chinese, who have been hacking into American businesses for years.

I read earlier in the week that they were using hard coded path names in their scripts. That implies inside access that knew where the dirt was buried and they were selective about what they gathered.

I’d be truly shocked if that is not the case.

I enter into evidence Bradley Manning.

Prosecution rests your Honor.

"I’ll bet the Cuban IT contractor guy was ARRANGED to be arrested by Castro, so as to permit for the subsequent normalization of D. relations. Paranoid and groundless? Yes, but with THIS one anything is possible."

Here's one for ya. The "inside help" was actually your friendly neighborhood NSA. What would be the motive? To create a crisis that would justify the federal government regulating the internet and corporate IT infrastructure with a complete set of keys to everyone's IT doors. It's for our national security of course.

I do Network Security.

95% of the time, it was an insider.

I’m just wondering what all the “campaign ribbons” are for. Maybe each one is awarded for surviving a purge.

I’ve suspected this all along. Just how does a “hacker” get access to all HR, accounting, email and movie-storage servers from the outside? One or two systems, maybe, but surely Sony has some kind of IT security and this rush by the regime and the media to blame the Norks has something of a familiar ring to it.
