This piece pretty much echoes what I've felt since I first read about all the speculation and FBI report.
I'm just glad someone with credibility was able to come out and say it, I just hope (but doubt) that mainstream media will follow up on it and ask the right questions going forward.
- happyscrappy 12y agoYou are glad he said what? He rules out a Sony insider and says NK must be involved in some way unless someone did it for the Lulz.
- yourad_io 12y agoHe didn't rule out a Sony insider. > It's possible, but that employee or ex-employee would have also had to possess the requisite hacking skills, which seems unlikely. Considering the number of laid off techies, I think it is somewhat "more than unlikely". I don't know where you got the second part.
- wpietri 12y agoI think he's also missing the case where a disgruntled insider gives a beachhead and/or money to outsiders.
- nkantar 12y agoI sincerely doubt the mainstream media will give Schneier any air time, as his view point isn't sensationalist enough to sell well. But I also think his skepticism is spot on. This "explanation" is too conveniently tidy for me to find it all that believable.
- dba7dba 12y agoBut that someone has zero credibility when it comes to distinguishing nuances in the Korean language. N Korea has the motive, means, and track record for this kind of thing. And please let's all agree such hacking is not some impossible rocket science. Any group of young teens/hackers with enough time could've pulled it off. Especially such a relatively easy target as sony. Oh by the way, N Korea did launch a mid range ballistic missile (albeit a crude one).
