I would place my bet on the individuals with access to the trove from the Playstation Network hack. It's odd how the epic Sony Playstation Network hack from a few years back doesn't get discussed much in relation to the current hack. A signature of lulzsec strategy from that era was the staging of information gained from one intrusion to go deeper. So the passwords and information found through one intrusion was utilized to span out and find intrusion into other networks, in other companies or institutions. And this fermentation process before the release of hacks was in the order of months or longer. We know from that episode that Sony's network was penetrated deep. It would be foolish to not consider if much of that information didn't remain "in play" for future staging. But it seems everyone (meaning the FBI and Sony, the stakeholders in the prior attack) thought the case was closed when Lulzsec was no more. If I am right (and it is really not clear that I am), and the data from the Playstation Network hack was at play, then there are two very interesting things to note: 1. the attackers chose to devoid themselves of even the anonymous brand. Action without brand takes intrusion as protest to a whole new level. 2. The FBI's official finger pointing to north korea shows how far behind they are in adapting to the new world and makes me wonder what future trolling still await us.
