well even if it's not North Korea it wouldn't hurt to knock them down a bit and we can later deny it and suggest that it might have been Canada or Paraguay doing it to them
It sounds like a group of disgruntled ex-employees from the series of accusations and demands in its messages to Sony from Nov 30 to Dec 8, none of which mentioned the movie. One of them came forward anonymously. The company is getting hit by a rash of lawsuits over discrimination and harrassment as mentioned in the hacker messages.
The problem with this I doubt they would know how strong the North Korean threat would be. Also it is a little too intricate for my taste to be ex-employees. Not that they couldn't do it, but the takedown sounds too big for a simple "jilted former employee."

As I said in another post the exact response from North Korea either shows that they were in fact behind the cyber attack OR they crafted their response to the US about offering to help based on the response.

As of now myself and hundreds of millions of other people worldwide have credit cards logged on to Sony's PS network. What's to say there is no malware that will be installed into my network if I use my PS for anything.

Yea so maybe you feel stupid now?
you mean for reading another one of your posts? yes, yes I do feel stupid.

Probably contacted hackers who got the files for them and protected their identity. Just as you wouldn't do a hack for your own home computer, you wouldn't do it yourself and the hacker would use intermediate servers to disguise their identity. Sony doesn't know who did it and how they got to the computer. The hardcoded pathnames and passwords make it difficult for someone on the outside to just dig up by phishing.
They claim that the NK hackers secured the account of a systems administrator through phishing attempts.
