The "FBI Has Concluded That The North Korean Government Is Responsible", Will "Impose Costs"
There's Wired. And then there is the FBI, which just reported that it "now has enough information to conclude that the North Korean government is responsible for" the Sony hack, and will "impose costs and consequences on individuals, groups, or nation states who use cyber means to threaten the United States or U.S. interests."
That said, we are still waiting for the definitive evidence in the form of a map showing North Korea's weapons of mass hacking destruction, or a YouTube clip showing fat, unshaven, unwashed North Korean hackers hacking stuff.
Update on Sony Investigation
Today, the FBI would like to provide an update on the status of our investigation into the cyber attack targeting Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE). In late November, SPE confirmed that it was the victim of a cyber attack that destroyed systems and stole large quantities of personal and commercial data. A group calling itself the "Guardians of Peace" claimed responsibility for the attack and subsequently issued threats against SPE, its employees, and theaters that distribute its movies.
The FBI has determined that the intrusion into SPE's network consisted of the deployment of destructive malware and the theft of proprietary information as well as employees' personally identifiable information and confidential communications. The attacks also rendered thousands of SPE's computers inoperable, forced SPE to take its entire computer network offline, and significantly disrupted the company's business operations.
After discovering the intrusion into its network, SPE requested the FBI's assistance. Since then, the FBI has been working closely with the company throughout the investigation. Sony has been a great partner in the investigation, and continues to work closely with the FBI. Sony reported this incident within hours, which is what the FBI hopes all companies will do when facing a cyber attack. Sony's quick reporting facilitated the investigators' ability to do their jobs, and ultimately to identify the source of these attacks.
As a result of our investigation, and in close collaboration with other U.S. Government departments and agencies, the FBI now has enough information to conclude that the North Korean government is responsible for these actions. While the need to protect sensitive sources and methods precludes us from sharing all of this information, our conclusion is based, in part, on the following:
- Technical analysis of the data deletion malware used in this attack revealed links to other malware that the FBI knows North Korean actors previously developed. For example, there were similarities in specific lines of code, encryption algorithms, data deletion methods, and compromised networks.
- The FBI also observed significant overlap between the infrastructure used in this attack and other malicious cyber activity the U.S. Government has previously linked directly to North Korea. For example, the FBI discovered that several Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with known North Korean infrastructure communicated with IP addresses that were hardcoded into the data deletion malware used in this attack.
- Separately, the tools used in the SPE attack have similarities to a cyber attack in March of last year against South Korean banks and media outlets, which was carried out by North Korea.
We are deeply concerned about the destructive nature of this attack on a private sector entity and the ordinary citizens who worked there. Further, North Korea's attack on SPE reaffirms that cyber threats pose Al of the gravest national security dangers to the United States. Though the FBI has seen a wide variety and increasing number Al cyber intrusions, the destructive nature Al this attack, coupled with its coercive nature, sets it apart. North Korea's actions were intended to inflict significant harm on a U.S. business and suppress the right of American citizens to express themselves. Such acts of intimidation fall outside the bounds of acceptable state behavior. The FBI takes seriously any attempt - whether through cyber-enabled means, threats of violence, or otherwise - to undermine the economic and social prosperity of our citizens.
The FBI stands ready to assist any U.S. company that is the victim of a destructive cyber attack or breach of confidential business information. Further, the FBI will continue to work closely with multiple departments and agencies as well as with domestic, foreign, and private sector partners who have played a critical role in our ability to trace this and other cyber threats to their source. Working together, the FBI will identify, pursue, and impose costs and consequences on individuals, groups, or nation states who use cyber means to threaten the United States or U.S. interests.

So they actually allocated resources to this?
I feel SOOOOOO much better now.
pods
Now tell me about MH17.
Like I was going to watch this Jew-starred, Jew-directed, Jew-produced propaganda piece of shit movie anyways.
An attack on Sony is an attack on us all.
Are we still waiting for the lost emails from the IRS?
Odd that we cannot figure out who shot down the Malaysian Airlines Flight 117 killing 283 passengers and 15 crew.
Fucking super-sleuths at the FBI. Did they find DNA from Sherlock Holmes and clone him a thousand times in the last week?
I still cant find the "It's ok, just trust us" amendment to the US Constitution ?
I hope FBI can help too when I get hacked.
Hard to say which is gayer, the made-for-screen movie, or the real-life movie.
Don't know about gayer... but the "real-life" movie is faker... by far.
if i may ask a question....what audience are they playing to?
...sheep dont care
...the aware know its bullshit. and on top of it their voices do not matter, nor heard
...or are they just using the media to notify all others that need to know, instead of using a blast e-mail..
jeesh. Any cred the FBI might have had in the realm of cyber crime has just evaporated. One has to wonder if those that work the cyber security departments in these federal agencies are starting to just give up, given the obvious bullshit being shoveled down on them to chase around, designed to advance some lie or another. The infosec community is not stupid, no matter who they get a paycheck from.

U.S. Cyber Command
On June 23, 2009, the Secretary of Defense directed the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command to establish a sub-unified command, United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM). Full Operational Capability (FOC) was achieved Oct. 31, 2010. The command is located at Fort Meade, Md.
Formal Name
U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM)
Commander
Admiral Michael S. Rogers
Mission
USCYBERCOM plans, coordinates, integrates, synchronizes and conducts activities to: direct the operations and defense of specified Department of Defense information networks and; prepare to, and when directed, conduct full spectrum military cyberspace operations in order to enable actions in all domains, ensure US/Allied freedom of action in cyberspace and deny the same to our adversaries.
Focus
The Command has three main focus areas: Defending the DoDIN, providing support to combatant commanders for execution of their missions around the world, and strengthening our nation's ability to withstand and respond to cyber attack.
The Command unifies the direction of cyberspace operations, strengthens DoD cyberspace capabilities, and integrates and bolsters DoD's cyber expertise. USCYBERCOM improves DoD's capabilities to operate resilient, reliable information and communication networks, counter cyberspace threats, and assure access to cyberspace. USCYBERCOM is designing the cyber force structure, training requirements and certification standards that will enable the Services to build the cyber force required to execute our assigned missions.The command also works closely with interagency and international partners in executing these critical missions.
Organization
USCYBERCOM is a sub-unified command subordinate to U. S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM). Service elements include: Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER); Air Forces Cyber (AFCYBER); Fleet Cyber Command (FLTCYBERCOM); and Marine Forces Cyber Command (MARFORCYBER). The Command is also standing up dedicated Cyber Mission Teams to accomplish the three elements of our mission.
Seal
The eagle, our national symbol, is revered for the keen eyesight that allows it to pierce the darkness and remain vigilant. The two swords on the shield represent the dual nature of the command to defend the nation and, if necessary, engage our enemies in the cyber domain. The lightning bolt symbolizes the speed of operations in cyber, and the key illustrates the command's role to secure our nation's cyber domain.

And since when is some stupid movie "in American interests"? I was sure uninterested in this shitshow. And yet here I am wasting time posting on a board.
Finally, maybe the fog is lifting a bit as to what is really behind all this theater...
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/dec/19/vladimir-putin-invites-nort...
In short, Putin needs N Korea to transit gas to the south.
They didn't seem to come through for me; and I was hacked by a Navy Employees and Contractors(including L3 Communications - I submitted my security logs to the FBI/Web Crime Site) using Computers from their Offices(another location NAS North Island (Aircraft Repair Depot). Civil Servants have too much time to spare; and it's hard to fire them.
I still get hacked often by others in the SouthBay LA Area. Cult Monkeys who tried to spin it into a "Research Project", Neighborhood Watch (Maxine Waters Region), Mock Trials, Religious Courts (Loyola Marymount/Mt. Saint Mary's), Behavioral Analysis, Threapy, Christian Deprogramming, ESP Research (Scientology's Contribution), etc.
When I went to the FBI in Person to report about a alleged double murder they fraudulently accused me of when I did a quick stint at ING, I noticed one man at the Lobby as well - turned out the he was a Mormon Cult 'tard who was stalking me (years later, he sat near me at the LA AFB BX Food Court, when he explained to a Negro Racketeer (I'm half Black, BTW) that he wanted to Proselytize to the Japanese People. When I went to the FBI the second time around to submit an update, there was a group of people crowding the Lobby - from the looks of the "Adult Supervisors" - white, fat, dumb/inbred looking, guilt minded, etc. - they fit the Mormon Proselytizing Profile (I get stalked by them - many of them are parasites who exploit/suppress people who reject and object against their Proselytization Efforts). The FBI at Wilshire restricted access to their Lobby hence - now one needs to get clearance in advance or via the Main Entrance to go to their Floor and Lobby. Glad to see someone wise up for a change.
To top the story - when I was approached and gave an Agent and a Navy NCIS tag-along a briefing, they told me that several of the events were out of their Jurisdiction... ....WTF... at least they could have told me whom. All I need to do is make some Phone Calls to my Pentagon/State Dept Contacts; and we'd have a few more scum making perp walks.
Cover ups can't last forever. State of California (CBI), Starford/Loyola/USC Research, ex-LAPD Black Ops (as one person was associated with), CIA, or those who claimed to be with (leaked by others), Jesuit/Gay-Catholic (several Gay Stalkers engaged in some foul play), Scientology/(EXian Science, Moonies, Mormon/JW, Chabad, Negro Cults / Black Studies-Reprogramming Monkies(Thanks to people citing Van Jones and Star Jones - trying to make me more involved with black people I don't know, go to their churches, maybe eat chitlins with them on Sundays, date their single moms - all rejected), Reconquistas, White Trash/Maidan Skinhead Types, and Christian(allegedly Calvary Chapel, Overseas Holiness Group and other churches) 'tards can only keep their "Circle-Scratching, Daisy-Chain" going for so long...
Land of Fruits and Nuts. It's no wonder Calfornia's getting deserted by Businesses and has been going through a Brain Drain. What's left are the remnants of Silicon Valley, the Entertainment Industry, Real Estate, HealthCare, and the drought-ridden Agribusiness.
I'm just counting the days to get the call and escape this "Black Hole of Suck".
I believe the "just trust us" is somewhere in the "Patriot Act".
Probably worded as "you will HAVE to trust us - matter of "National Security" don't you know!"
(Second-to last appendix, third foot-note down I believe)
It was only a matter of time before they brought in a pillar from the axis of evil. Full fucking retard. How about Lerner's emails to, FBI?
FBI has determined that Lois Lerner's email crashed due to sparks in her hard drives center fuel tank.
I'm thinking this is a false flag event. US hacks Sony, blames North Korea.
Since Afgan is winding down and the NSA needs a boost in image you might be onto something. Time to go to war with N Korea.
There will be no false flag event(s). We are too tired and too busy to notice. Even if LA blew up, we would go, "Yeah, I'm late for my shift, and I still have to buy that thing for the wife, which I can probably do after game this weekend if I can cash my check, which won't be that much since I called in last week with the flu, and the copays and meds are killing me, but maybe there's some room on the credit card, and maybe I could not pay the cable till January, and I was supposed to pick up something for dinner, but maybe there's some mac and cheese we haven't had that since Tuesday, I'll just throw some of that ground beef on sale on it, and we'll be okay, she won't mind. Oh yeah, LA. Shit, I'm late for work. I'll read about it on the way.
Lets see if this movie was insured against such acts like these. Much like that Larry Silverstein guy who insured the WTC buildings right before the attack.
Next up, Movie #7 crashes in its own footprint.
"the FBI will identify, pursue, and impose costs and consequences on individuals, groups, or nation states who use cyber means to threaten the United States or U.S. interests."
or Nation states? WTF are they talking about? Sanctions for Sony? Nuremburg trials for PS4?
Sanctions for Sony, are you serious?
A few years back Sony hacked millions of US computers. They did this by selling audio CDs with malware. Whenever the CD was put in a PC to play the music, a rootkit was secretly installed on the PC. The rootkit opened up huge security holes on the PCs, and allowed remote control of them by unauthorized parties. It is estimated that about 20 million PCs world wide were hacked this way.
No criminal investigation was ever started in the US after this mass hack that threathened the security of millions of US computers.
But there was a civil class action suit in the US after this hack. The final judgment was that Sony was responsible, and that Sony should compensate the owners of the affected PCs. The compensation: Anybody in the US that could prove they were hacked would get free music from Sony at a retail level value of about US$1.98. Compare this to the estimated cost of cleaning up the hacked PCs: $100-500 per PC.
Fair should be fair. So IF it can be proven that North Korea hacked Sony, it would only be fair if North Korea compensated Sony by giving them music at a retail level value of about US$1.98
The irony is that the company with the tech sophisticated enough to hack millions of US computers were "vulnerable" to hack attacks.
I like your use of the word "IF".
I did some work for Sony as a contractor. There are some real professionals there being that is a mega-corporation, I'm not picking on the seasoned real professionals working there. But a lot of "Business" people in the biz are JOKEs.
The managers are so arrogant. One comes into work still inebriated on Friday morning and shouts/yells over IT call with an outsourced service in India. The call was hard enough to hear because the connection was already weak, the IT guy had a very thick accent and the process of setting up the system was very detail oriented.
I was cut for "shushing" the manager.
NEVER have I met ANYONE- even some of the biggest partiers I know act like this.
When LA has such a high unemployment rate and the useless damage control PR guy makes $600,000/year- wait, what are IT people making?
I almost want to think that the movie was made to frame North Korea. And without the US & China involvement in funding North Korea with Iron Ore, I think South Koreans would've taken care of that government up north a LONG time ago.
The Third Estate has nothing on little tiny Korean women.

And I thought the Korean War was stupid. silly me
Didn't anybody tell you Amercia controls the Universe and everything in it.
um, isnt Sony a Japanese corporation?

Shhh, you're not supposed to use the J word. Bad PR for ZH, and attracts trolls. It's safer and probably more accurate to use the Z word instead. :-)
Jeez, I feel like I'm behind the Iron Curtain, having to speak in code.
The FBI has concluded people are starting to realize the media is a load of bullshit and needs to clamp down on the internet.

I saw what you did there.
Look, if we start with that, and list "dumb things the FBI couldn't figure out", we are going to be here a while...
exactly...I think this has been going on for quite some time...probably goes a long way towards explaining the direction the country's heading.
Watchout WB, North Korean might try to hack into your computer soon with such material
WB, If your server is in Hong Kong I would say your very vulnerable. Best to get an off line backup and delete all your emails now. LOL
Well hell- every time a movie company is about to lay a turd, the can slip the risk off to a political concern- sweet biz!

What happened in 1940 when Captain America fought Hitler in a comic book:
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/395049/no-superheroes-interview-cave-jonah-goldberg
…and from Wikipedia:
Captain America Comics #1 — cover-dated March 1941[5] and on sale December 20, 1940,[6][7] a year before the attack on Pearl Harbor, but a full year into World War II — showed the protagonist punching Nazi leader Adolf Hitler in the jaw; it sold nearly one million copies.[8] While most readers responded favorably to the comic, some took objection. Simon noted, "When the first issue came out we got a lot of ... threatening letters and hate mail. Some people really opposed what Cap stood for."[4] The threats, which included menacing groups of people loitering out on the street outside of the offices, proved so serious that police protection was posted with New York Mayor Fiorello La Guardia personally contacting Simon and Kirby to give his support.[9]
Yup.
Satire of political actors is as old as Voltaire and Guy Fawks. You can spin the ZOG story all you want, but if ZH posted a story illuminating Kim's wash trading in UK/Kak40 or how China and another country assist Kim move around the sanctions, I would bet ZH would be taken offline, and TD1 doxed in around 2 days. If Korea shows it can get away with using proxy actors like how Iran uses Hezb. to troll Israel, it is carte blanche for other regimes to do the same. Or be more agressive by using this as a reaction function test of the Obama internal shifts.
The main reason the Interview was so damning to Kim was
1. the Kim family seen as gods. Imagine the drama of shooting Allah on film? same thing in his bi-polar mind
2. Hardline insiders think he's a pushover, including his sister and lacks the will to keep the regime going esp if wash trading and money laundering fail to bring in that magical 400m the regime needs to keep the lights on.
3. Alliances to Russia and China increasingly seem like a stagnant and losing strategy to develop NKor energy and industry reserves. Kim made a gamble that China would improve his production industries if he ratched up the tension vs. Japan & Korea. China played him for a fiddle, so like the Castro's he is looking to jump ship.
why not, the banksters use the USA to troll the world
They have to give the CIA some cover. Now all we need are some internet controls to prevent the axis of evil from doing this again. After all, they hate us for our freedumb, and it's for the children.
Getting pretty surreal these days Doc...
"They have to give the CIA some cover..."
Looks like we're both looking at this situation skeptically and with distrust of Big.Gov. A bit earlier today, and on another ZH post**, I saw it as giving the Gov a Pretext for things to come, with view toward their real targets: Russia, Syria and -- further down -- Whitehat Hackers.

"The FBI stands ready to assist any U.S. company that is the victim of a destructive cyber attack or breach of confidential business information."
Let me see, to be able to "assist" any US company victim of cyber attacks, they have to give FBI full access to their private networks. I guess we should expect more US companies with huge budgets to invest in IT security being mysteriously hacked by such evil 3rd world nations with 1980 tech...
It's Bush's fault....
Meanwhile the CIA is laughing their asses off at this revelation.
The CIA does not have a sense of humor which they are aware of. And any laughing may or may not indeed be laughter, which we deny existed.
All snark aside, I fail to see what this will mean for a change in directorate policy or first strike cyber defense going forward. Ken A. argued on polymorphic firewalls for a long time while at the NSA and they were deemed impossible to deploy to defend US corporate routers. A panic investment would be a bit behind the curve now that most data libraries are wormed to shit.

"The FBI stands ready to assist any U.S. company that is the victim of a destructive cyber attack or breach of confidential business information."
Sony is not a US company, not to mention the fact that since when is the government responsible for corporate security?! The latest in the series of ever-increasingly explicit signals of who the US government represents, and who they do not.
the FBI loves to be able to get its hooks into multinationals... if you think they're going to let this opportunity go to waste, you got another think coming... this is the "... but it's a subsidiary based on US soil" card that's being played... Sony Pictures (Columbia) based in L.A. is the epicenter for the attack, not the main office in Tokyo...
I realize that, but I find it interesting that they don't even feel the need to clarify it anymore. In another article, I suggested that this demonstrates the importance of Hollywood and the MSM to the global power structure. Attacks on the Ministry of Truth are NOT to be tolerated. And the US government has increasingly little to do with the US people anymore...
I for one demand better propaganda from hollyweird/ziowood or else I'm going to need a lobotomy.
When do we attack? Quick, increase the pentagon budget by 500%, reinstate the draft, martial law and cancel Christmas!
Christmas has been canceled for years. Haven't you heard?
"Happy Holidays!"
This is all horseshit.
The most simple explanation is usually correct. I concur, Dr. I Call You My Base.
LMFAO....It was that fucking YouTube Video! Sanctions. LMFAO...send em a bill you fucktards. I'm applauding whoever did this. Fucking Hollweird assholes. Who gives a flying fuck.. I mean, W T F...a National Security Issue finding out that Angelina Jolie is fucking insane! Don't need to hack a system to know that shit. Let the Hilarity continue. Three Cheers to whoever was responsible....
This shows us Hollywood is a circus, and that nuclear armed NK is a sect like nut case no saner than David Koresh. Making fun of both is in order...to the degree we can slap down Nork plans to nuke some of us.
Seems to me we have a Japanese company (Sony) that approved a movie it must surely have known would provoke its paranoid nemesis living next door to them. Why would the USA let Japan maneuver us into a position between Korea and Japan on this silly movie provocation? Why doesn't the media focus on the Japanese element to this problem?
What, you mean actually do some genuine investigative journalism.
Shit that stuff went out with the Ark.
Sony should stream the movie through the Obamacare website.
If it's taken down in an attack, noone will realize it.
Seriously Folks. You've got to admit....ZH Posters are #1 in Comedy. LMFAO...I love it! I come here for all of my entertainment needs. Comedy Central doesn't hold a candle to some of the originality here. Keep bringing it folks.
North Korea would not take the site down, its doing to good of a job on it own destroying the US. It would be counter productive from their perspective.

Um, Why is my taxpaying dollars investigating and helping a foreign company? Sony, is a Japanese multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in K?nan Minato, Tokyo, Japan
Rhetorical question?

hehe, it was. That /sarc sign thingy is new age for me.
"When normal people get hacked where is the FBI's crack team?"
Well, these obviously aren't normal people. These are the gods on earth....the propaganda makers for the donkeys.
Without them, amerikans might get confused as to what the truth is.
Its sad isn't it. If there was one year I could erase from history...1913. There was some bullshit created in 1913 that needs to be removed forever.
"Its sad isn't it. If there was one year I could erase from history...1913. There was some bullshit created in 1913 that needs to be removed forever."
and now it's abundantly clear why Warburg and the rest of the bastards had to go into hiding during Christmas when no one was around to get it done.
Only 100 years later, now they own the government and 300 million plebes to boot.
And this is precisely the reason for the response. To attack the propaganda arm of the beast is in fact a serious danger to it. The only thing they have left at this point is control of people's perceptions. If they lose that, it's game over and they know it. They are scared. Go Hackers!
Go hackers indeed. They may very well be one of the last lines of defense against these bastards.
Why is the FBI not going after the NSA?
If a nuke destroyed Hollywood and Wall Street tomorrow, would America be better off?
More rhetorical questions?
I have nothing smart or helpful to say other than this is a bunch of bollocks Did they fuck hack anything, lying fucking tossers.
Fuck this pisses me off.
if the FBI enforces US law on non US citizens outside the US, then why don't they enforce US violations of constitutional rights for people held in Guantanamo without being charged with any crimes.
yea, like I believe this BS from the gov which has proved time & time again it lies perversely to further many agenda
Next, the FBI is going to solve the whodunnit in the 9-11 Terror Attacks.
"A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
SOOOOOO, they've concluded that N. Korea is behind this attack. Ok, haphazardly believe this.
They will impose costs? Ok.
So you invite someone to film a movie with you, understanding the prior risks involved, go through it anyways, and are now upset with the consequences of your own actions?
So what's next? I think we need to get rid of Freedumb of Speech to protect us from dah booger man, then censor the interwebs from the shadow lurkers, then protect us with bombing some folks. /sarc
One day in the future, I hope hollywood recreates the movie Dumb and Dumber'er'er'er that is a biographical movie about Washington D.C.
We've been hacked by some folks....ahhh.. I don't want to ....aah ..
point any fingers.. so I'm sending in the THE WOOKIE
If N. Korea can do all this hacking so easily, then why don't they, of course with the assistance of China and Russia and Libya I'm sure, just cause the DOW to dump 5,000 points in the next hour? Bunch of bullshit.

Precisely at the same moment Putin invites N. Korea's infamous head of state to an official visit to Moscow.
Ping Pong anyone?
If I were Pres, here is how I would end North Korean insanity:
Path 1:Tell the Chinese that if they don't get rid of the nuclear weapon-armed psycho North Korean regime, then the USA will immediately provide ALL Asian allies with nuclear-armed ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and bombs. Chinese want stability, security and nuclear monopoly in their region FAR MORE than they want the wacked-out North Korean regime. The Chinese can implement by inviting the North Korean regime to a meeting and then just wack them all, and then South Korea can occupy North Korea and US troops in South Korea can come home.
If that does not work, then:
Path 2: Lightning strike North Korea with jamming, stealth bombing key sites, and immediately follow with a carpet of nukes. Then tell the Iranians that they are next unless they immediately allow international inspectors in and fully dismantle their nuclear weapons program. The Iranians can buy nuclear fuel for power plants, don't need an expensive enrichment program for electric power. This path will calm the waters internationally for a long, long time.

All Bullshit. "associated ip address ",,, "similarities of code" Doesn't mean squat. Way too ambiguous. This is a setup. I don't know for what, but this will end not good.
Now you know why the Chinese are kicking out all the US technology companies and replacing all Western equipment with Chinese equipment. This will only accelerate that transfer. At any time, any country in the world can be declared an 'enemy of the state' by the US -- the same way that any US citizen can be declared a terrorist and killed anywhere on the plant.
oh, you mean like with all that Huawei stuff they stole from Cisco etc.
good luck w/ that, China...
Wrong. Through the UN criminal syndicate & espionage the Chinese received all the technology, now (like all the others) they are welching on their contractual agreement to open their markets to their benefactors. How much is Pelosi worth?
Another rip roaring comedy from the folks in Washington and Hollywood that are attempting to bring you "The Interview"!...
The story takes place in Eastern Europe and the mission is for a rogue operation of CIA/Blackwater types to find and kill the leader of a democratically elected government while also infiltrating it's police force to start massive riots and kill innocent people to make it look like the sitting government did it! And the best part is this all takes place while the U.S' most deadly adversary is hosting an Olympics as a diversion?!!!
It's the "Spy's Like Us" with the Dan Ackroyd and Chevy Chase a little more malevolent and sociopathic that you've never seen before! Can it really get any funnier than that???!!!!
I'm sure John Stewart and Stephen Colbert will have somthing lined up as a trailer to tell the World how funny it is to overthrow a legitimate government, loot, rape and murder 25,000 of it's people at the border of the most powerful nuclear superpower just like they've been making fun of Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Pakistan going on 14 years now!!!
Here come internet controls, those dirty commies made us do it.
When in the past was a slanderous movie ever once made about any despot still sitting in office? Did they bash Chairman Mao in the box office? Has anyone been nominated for any academy awards having played Fidel Castro? Was Ho Chi Minh bashed in the box office by name? Had they dragged Saddam through the theaters before he was dragged to the gallows?
This is a psyops operation of the first order.
Why is the US so upset that the North Koreans hacked a JAPANESE COMPANY like Sony!
What the hell can the USSA do about anything that N.Korea does? Impose sanctions? What kind?
Really, that fat little turd in charge could not care less. His hi-tech internet invaders will just keep right on doing it, if they are.
I did not know those Commodore 64's were that powerful still.
I did see a picture of 'lil Kim standing next to a rotory phone in the command center. Looked like a screen shot from a 60's James Bond film.
Nonsense. Who believes what our govt & media feed us?? False flag diversion from US domestic meddling.
I smell more government control and monitoring of the Internet coming....
Never let a crisis, even a fake made up silly crisis, go to waste.
Perhaps the hackers did not care about NK but objected to the principal of doing a film about the brutal killing an actual living person (not a character). Some of the leaked emails from Sony include executives describing scenes within the movie as shocking and belonging in a horror flick.
The terrorist threat was first described as just a social media rumor and unsubstantiated. The authorities did not have any concern. Once Sony decided not to show the film and used the terms terrorist threat then the govt had it's opportunity to fabricate excuses to attack ecomonically or covertly those not "with the program".
The US as gotten so ridiculas in it's blantant lies and fabricated excuses it makes you cringe. The US public takes pride in any ass kicking (killing of others) in which their team (US govt/military) wins even when they know the excuses are lies.
Want to test the principles being touted? Do a film depicting the killing of the 4 past presidents and their children.
Freedom of artistic expression? There is (was?) a rapper I believe in San Diego who is being prosecuted for major felonies because the govt claims his music encouraged others to act in a violent way. Last I heard the prosecution was going forward and he faced 20 yrs or more. He never identified an actual individual in his songs. Where is hollywood/Clooney and others for him?

If that were the case, I believe that Dr. Dre has $400 million to comp the damages to Koreatown during the Rodney King Riots. Since the US enforces SUBJECTIVE Civil Law that's founded on the basis of the law of arbitrary biased relativity. No honestly, I'd like to see him pay up.
But for this rapper, I think he was being attacked by competition who is threatened by his "art". There's a story about how prison investors paid rappers to encourage bad behavior through a medium known as "gangsta rap". Funny how San Diego inferiority complex ridden peeps didn't actually pursue the cause of the problem.
Asia is typically very safe, if you moved or stayed in their countries - nobody would impose their social unrest on you like Ugly Americans do.
Hacking shmacking.
If they can't trace all the scam artists from India, Pakistan or other countries preying on stupid Americans who will pay anything when demanded over the phone or GO TO PRISON (I am sending an officer at this very second) rather than say Fuck off and die over the phone, how can we expect protection or results?
GE has new nuclear technology for better offsetting the derivatives oil collapse. More con-artist will get a nail gun or thro'em off a pad.
I love america. just try to explain whats going on. That Nigger in the WH is a bad person.
It's TGIF and where are the E-mails that were hacked??
Lotsa stories but no -Emails from Rudin to others, nothing.
Where are they???
Comeon Kim, if ya got 'em let's smoke 'em!!
And you have my dying gratitude for getting Rogen, the most overrated juvenile in Hollyweird off the screen at least this one time.
Send in the puppets!
Maybe one of the tortured prisoners in Gitmo tipped them off.
Retribution for what the Snowden revealed occurs continuously by the US govt.
So now the next hack out off N-Korea will be the NSA's datacenters.
Will be war after that of course.
Kim just wanted a piece of the cake, everyone is doing it these days!
He's negotiating for the gaudiest solid-gold PS4 you ever saw, with 10 years of Plus membership and $50,000 US in his PS Wallet.
Fart Barf and Idiot, doing a heck of a job
