North Korea has described new sanctions imposed in response to a major cyber-attack against Sony Pictures as part of a hostile and inflammatory US policy.

The US placed sanctions on three North Korean organisations and 10 individuals after the FBI blamed Pyongyang for the cyber-attack.

North Korea praised the attack on Sony but denied any involvement in it.

The hack is now widely seen by experts as the work of (a) disgruntled insider(s), not the product of N Korea. But despite the lack of clear evidence, Obama went forward with the sanctions anyway.

With the investigation into last week’s cyberattack on Sony Pictures still ongoing, speculation is mounting that someone with knowledge of the company may have been involved in the hack. Earlier this week the finger of suspicion was pointed at North Korea over the mysterious hacking incident which crippled Sony Pictures' network.
Now experts think that an insider may have been involved in the attack. The hackers knew their way around Sony Pictures’ IT infrastructure, according to Jaime Blasco, labs director of security management specialist AlienVault, who has reviewed samples of the malware used in the attack.

The FBI and the President may claim that the Hermit Kingdom is to blame for the most high-profile network breach in forever. But almost all signs point in another direction.

All the evidence leads me to believe that the great Sony Pictures hack of 2014 is far more likely to be the work of one disgruntled employee facing a pink slip.

I may be biased, but, as the director of security operations for DEF CON, the world’s largest hacker conference, and the principal security researcher for the world's leading mobile security company, Cloudflare, I think I am worth hearing out.

SIGNYM,
I would have had no idea except I know some people who live and breathe the international news, including one guy who knows an AFP bureau chief rather well.

You mean like your contributions???

Here's your brain at it's finest, doing what it does best, posting:

1. Hmm .. that's a challenge Signy. [brilliant!]

2. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA - what an ignoramus you are! [so smart!]

3. Do you HAVE to be such a stupid troll? More important - do you have NOTHING that addresses the topic? No, of course not. [and then you actually accuse others of what you're doing - touché!]

You don't address the topic because YOU NEVER DO. Your sole purpose is to carry Signym's water - you are such a kiss-up lap dog, bark! bark! bark! That's all you f*cking do. Go fetch now, sparky!

G, if you look back and THUGR'S posts, you'll see that he almost never contributes anything of interest or insight to ANY thread - not even yours. Is he the attack dog, and are you his piddling little buddy?

I noticed G paid this comment little mind. I find G’s and others posts informative and usually in line with my thinking.- THUGR

Hmmm... I see the misunderstanding is yours, again. I didn't say that G never posted anything interesting, I said that YOU didn't. And you still don't.

You're a bone head. I understood you wished to paint me as nothing more than a goon to G. Like I said, G paid your post little mind.

But I see that neither your nor THUGR have made any comment about the peregrinations of Defense Minister Shoigu, so as usual you have nothing on-topic to say.

And of course, no apology from you for being so totally wrong and evil-intentioned about my information and my contacts will ever be forthcoming -SIGNY

The FBI's information on the hackings included IP addresses tracked back to North Korea. I heard this from someone on the inside. The North Korean's got sloppy.
