Those "experts" were not experts in attribution, and the consensus is that they were wrong.
One is from Norse, a widely discredited and now defunct security firm, ironically infamous for their false attributions.
Two are journalists. Enough said.
One is Seth Rogen the actor. Enough said.
One is Sabu from LulzSec, a script kid turned FBI snitch, who is way out of his league commenting on this.
One is Marc Rogers, who I don't know personally, but I doubt he maintains his skepticism today. In any case, a security expert to be certain, but not an expert in attribution and not privy to the evidence (only some of which has ever been made public). Worth noting that he published followup blog posts to the wikipedia-linked citation that walked back his skepticism quite a bit (http://marcrogers.org/2015/01/24/wrapping-up-the-whole-sony-thing-for-now/ http://marcrogers.org/2015/01/24/wrapping-up-the-whole-sony-... - "In my eyes, the preponderance of evidence definitely suggests North Korean involvement or someone trying very hard to make it look like North Korean involvement."). He basically settled on it being plausible, but concerning, and acknowledged that he wasn't privy to the evidence.
