I don’t like to suggest things or start rumors, but by now, I hope you’ve heard the story of the Sony Interview hoax.
Supposedly, North Korea managed to break into Sony using software that is identifiable as only used by North Korea, still some emails at just the time The Interview was testing poorly, and were dumb enough to leave the obvious clues that the FBI says prove beyond a doubt that it was planned as retaliation.
North Korea loves to saber rattle and tell us they are fighting us, but would not take credit.
Hmmm.
I left this alone, figured that the next move in the ARG (alternate reality game) would be false reports that there was a planned promotional attack, thus supporting the claims that it was North Korea and that would be that.
I didn’t expect this:
President Obama Sanctions North Korea After Sony Cyberattack
President Obama has signed an executive order imposing new sanctions on North Koreafollowing last month’s cyber-attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Officials say this is the first instance the US government has imposed sanctions in response to a direct cyber-attack on a U.S. company.
In issuing the order, Obama accuses North Korea of “destructive, coercive cyber-related actions during November and December,” calling them a “continuing threat to the national security,foreign policy and economy of the United States.”
Did the Attack Come Due to the movie or the Sony Interview Hoax?
It’s looking too bizarre to be fake. Obama is as much a saber rattler as any dictator. It’s not politics (unless we agree that everything is politics) so it just seems crazy to me
What really happened?
