It was the Norks!
It was the Russians!
It was “the Other”.
Works every time.
It wouldn’t surprise me it it were the Russians. And it wouldn’t surprise me if obola knew it and has been lying about it (surprise!). After all, he can play the tough guy against Un. Against Putin? Not so much.
what basis would Russia have to hack Sony?
Why don’t they just shut up until they can prove it? They said it was the Norks. So now maybe it wasn’t.
This is embarrassing.
We’ve always been at war with Eastasia.
The public wouldn't care if they shut down some pump station or even blew up a pipeline. But take away a movie and they screamed!
A DISGRUNTLED FIRED EX-Employee did it!! The FBI said it was the NK because SONY is a HUGE DEMOCRAT CONTRIBUTOR and they will get MILLIONS if it’s a “terrorist hack attack” Otherwise they get ZILCH!!!!!!
Oh PLEASE, it wasn’t ANY of these countries!!!!! geesh...think people!!
It was a US government attempt at a digital “Reichstag Fire”.
It was a publicity stunt gone bad.
Bampster: ‘I’ll have a lot more flexability after the election.’(Not good at spleng) Used to be, though.
Yes, that’s what I’ve been saying (current and/or former Sony IT employees responsible). It was an exploitation of weak IT security. If a rogue country was responsible, they’d be hitting the entire US with this, they wouldn’t be dinking around with idle threats (”Just wait until we hit next time!!!!”).
Everyone in Sony’s IT Security Department should be immediately sacked. This is bush league.
EXACTLY!! But Sony would LOSE MILLIONS if it WASN”T labeled by our CORRUPT govt. as the NK!!! This way SONY gets to collect MILLIONS in ILLICIT “terrorism insurance” funds!!
No surprises here. Ultimately the Norks are behind it, but I never thought it was a domestic Nork hacker team. My first guess was the Chinese and my second guess was the Russians. Both are known for massive hacker activity and they had the knowledge and ability to do it while I very much doubt any Nork team would.
The Norks just hired it out to the best hacker teams of which they knew.
Are ya kiddin? Money. The best reason.
Yes, I heard that an inside employee was involved, but this does not preclude this attack from being contracted out by North Korea. It may be just revenge, but I wouldn't be surprised if the disgruntled employee's hands were greased.
