US Links North Korea To Sony Hacking
schwit1 writes Speaking off the record, senior intelligence officials have told the New York Times, CNN, and other news agencies that North Korea was "centrally involved" in the hack of Sony Pictures Entertainment. It is not known how the US government has determined that North Korea is the culprit, though it is known that the NSA has in the past penetrated North Korean computer systems. Previous analysis of the malware that brought down Sony Pictures' network showed that there were marked similarities to the tools used in last year's cyber-attack on South Korean media companies and the 2012 "Shamoon" attack on Saudi Aramco. While there was speculation that the "DarkSeoul" attack in South Korea was somehow connected to the North Korean regime, a firm link was never published.
Their vic 20's?
First, by media company's accounting standard (GAMSB), this hack cost the USA and Sony many trillions of dollars. Why we are not all running around naked and in the dark is because of the quick thinking of the FBI and other Feds to protect us from this horrendous crime against humanity.
I am so glad they did because we all know that hacks against media companies are the true threats to the security and freedom of the USA and NOT violent bombings, attacks on our interests in other countries, and attacks on our infrastructure; but attacks on foreign controlled companies that distribute shitty stoner movies.
Why Seth Rogen himself, expresssing his deep deep remorse over this said, "Duuuuude!"
I for one am appalled at your lack and inability to see the significance of this attack and the fine fine work that our government is doing to protect the assets and IP of foreign corporations at the expense of our own safety and security.
You un-American scum!
Except in Texas they think Team America World Police is a documentary.
You are welcome on my lawn.
That leads to my question- are you posting from Pyongyang?
Yes, yes I am. After spending years scouring the Internet, my small team of l88t Haxors realized that only one account, on one site, had the propaganda value we needed. It was DoofusOfDeath@slashdot.org. We're sure to get a second serving of rice balls for this exploit! Long live the god Kim Jung Un!
