The Feds Got the Sony Hack Right, but the Way They’re Framing It Is Dangerous
- snowwrestler 12y agoThe author is looking at how the FBI's statements are playing in the U.S. private infosec community (pretty poorly so far), and calling it a bad strategy. But why would the federal government care whether private infosec folks believe them on this? The private infosec opinion has basically no consequences for the feds. The FBI and NSA etc. will keep doing what they do regardless. They do care what other national governments think, and those are probably the primary audience for statements like this--in particular, China, who has a lot of influence in North Korea but also wants to maintain adequately good relations with the U.S.
