I've said this elsewhere, but if this whole thing was perpetrated by the North Korean state because of the potential offence to North Korea from showing their leader being killed, why has the scene of their leader being killed been leaked by the hackers supposedly controlled by North Korea and is now posted all over reddit?
- cordite 12y agoWas that scene actually leaked by them, or someone upset that their movie didn't get released?
- joelrunyon 12y agoI'm sure if the latter was the case, the whole movie would have been out by now...
- lotsofmangos 12y agoFair point. From what I have read, it was one of the attachments in the leaked email dump.
- kristofferR 12y agoIt was just a link in one of the thousands of emails they leaked, so I doubt it was intentionally leaked.
- lotsofmangos 12y agoSo the story is that a state level actor who is pissed at a company over a particular bit of video, steals a load of data and then does not check the stolen data for the video they are pissed about before publicly releasing it online themselves, while simultaneously demanding that it isn't released in any format ever? I'm not saying that this isn't what has happened, as governments are capable of wonderfully insane levels of stupidity at times, but it does seem relatively unlikely. This more looks like someone who is massively pissed with Sony, not a particular film, and is just running with the NK angle for comedy chaos-monkey reasons.
