I'd be inclined to agree with you if the North Korean government didn't officially condemn the film last June and threaten retaliation if it was released.

- csandreasen 12y agoI think it's interesting that Sony is hacked several months after North Korea makes threatening remarks about a specific movie, the hackers make specific threats about the release of the same movie, and the FBI states that their forensic investigation turned up malware with code identical to malware previously attributed to North Korean hacking and using the same C2 servers and proxies, but the tech community won't even entertain the possibility that it might be North Korea behind the attack.
