Sociopaths exist. If this was an insider, possibly an administrator, all they would need to do would be to execute the equivalent of "select * from \\windows_domain", put the results in a torrent, and call it a day. From all reports the internal information security procedures at Sony Pictures were not rigorous, which implies such a thing could happen without detection. I'm not saying that the DPRK couldn't do it, only that no proof has been offered that they did. Given the lack of proof, assigning blame to anyone is premature. Parenthetically, it is amusing to me that the accepted narrative has so quickly become that NK definitely did it.
