This could get real dicey...
RELEASE THE DAMN FILM!!!
Now, let's assume for the sake of argument that North Korea DOES have the infrastructure and intelligence to pull off the Sony Hacking.
Let's add to the argument that news broke today that North Korea has/had 5 crack-commando type squads in the U.S. in the 1990's to carry out attacks against our nuclear plants and to cause nuclear disaster on our own soil.
What does all this say about our abilities to defend our critical computing and infrastructure resources against countries like China and Russia who have REAL RESOURCES for these same types of attacks?
Now what are we going to do about it?
Nothing. Obama will be on TV shortly to apologize to NK for “past aggressions.”
You mount a 911 style attack and your asses are going back to the stone age.
Even if it is true (I just expressed my cynicism on another thread), isn’t it Sony’s responsibility to secure their computer network? And for their employees to just shut up about their personal snarky views online?
Dare the nuts to stop the release.
I hope this doesn’t hamper Obama’s vacation.. <sarc
Since North Korea has shown America is a useless Country I would literally cyber destroy the Country. Why the hell not. King Obama’s America is founded on communists and cowards.
This hack of Sony is awesome and a good thing.
Why, you say?
There are a finite number of ways to attack things, even computers. And the methods used tend to be derivative of one another, especially from groups like the Norks, China, and Pakistan.
So they used some very expensive and dangerous technology on a private company that made a movie mocking Kim Jong-un and his little limp penis.
Well, thanks!
We now know how this weapon works, can defend against it and variations of said weapon, and we will work to close this and similar vulnerabilities.
And we get the added benefit of reading emails (from fellow liberals) mocking Obama as a one-note bigot obsessed with race and find out the Angelina Jolie really is a no-talent bitch.
Sure beats them using this same tech to cause a nuclear meltdown or turning off the power during the Superbowl.
So anyway, thank you little fat Kim Jong-un for having such a fragile ego and limp penis that you were so bothered by a movie that you exposed years of espionage and probably billions of dollars of tech research to protect your vanity. Your fragile ego probably saved millions of lives!
So, Kim (may I call you Kimmy?) you did us a fantastic favor, and both amused us by your vanity and the fact that you exposed Hollyweirdos for what we thought they were.
Great job!
So we are blaming the victim now on FR? This could have been an electric company....or a major bank they shut down.
Does everyone take all of this at face value? The movie seems over-the-top ridiculous, a more professional version of the one that supposedly instigated Benghazi. We’ve got Obama-lover Clooney speaking out. We’ve got Krauthammer saying something like Americans are just going to have to tolerate NSA intrusion and trust they won’t overstep their bounds. I have no idea what really happened. I simply struggle to trust any of the parties involved here.
I don’t believe a word the federal government says. It lies about everything.
The last thing Kim Jong-Un remembers is visiting with Bill Cosby in his dressing room, before taking a sip of something and then blacking out...
I agree.. someone didn’t cover their tracks to well.
We are talking North Korea....this was done because Kim couldn’t take being mocked....its that simple...as someone just posted thank god the vane little bastard went after a movie and not the electric grid...or a nuke power plant.
If I have credit card info stolen, it's not the US govs responsibility to make things right, it's the company that was hacked. If the hackers broke the law doing that, it's a crime against the property stolen and the hackers.
