Okay, so it's pretty badass for thugs. Nasty as the clap. So who has the clap?

Given DPRK (Best Korea)'s efforts to counterfeit currency, it wouldn't remotely surprise me if they were actually behind this. Also consider the subject of the movie they are talking about. They have the paranoid nutter factor and the resources to pull this sort of thing off.

Well, I have found there is a porn site named after DPRK, so they don't mind porn, just black humor about killing their leader, Which you would expect.

DUHHHH.

Blame Sony for poor security and storing some documents and backup accessible to hackers.

Agreed.

They should have learned their lesson after the whole Playstation account deal. When you got the President of the US'(regardless of who he is) attention, something's up.

No socialist of any persuasion has ever accomplished that, now or...um, THEN.

It was because movie executives tend to be dumbasses.

Sad proof...the MPAA seems to have a state's attorney general (or two) in their pocket and Google finally got pissed enough to threaten jamming it down their throats via the other ends.

I have to look it up again though as I cleared stuff out last night. It's another one of those suits demanding enough stuff to bollox the works for a couple years anyway.

So it's not really Sony's problem per se, but who is to say it's not related in part to why the attack actually happened. North Korea, being themselves are offering to help as they say it's not them in the first place while doing the usual DPRK SOP and arresting people etc like normal.

The word floating about of late is that it has to be an inside job. Others say there is a hacking unit in NK that does these things.

They have to do stuff like this...there are no burger flipping jobs.
