I hate North Korea’s leaders … They’re not only clowns sporting bad haircuts and weird clothes, but they live in luxury [6]while the population literally starves.
But the FBI’s official assertion [7] that North Korea carried out the attack in retaliation for Sony’s releasing the movie “The Interview” is B.S.
Here’s a sample of top cybersecurity experts who say that North Korea was not behind the hacking attack of Sony:
- Peter W. Singer [10], one of the nation’s foremost experts on cybersecurity
- Renowned hacker, DEFCON organizer, and CloudFlare researcher Marc Rogers [11]
- John Dickson [12], a former air force intelligence officer who is now a partner in the cybersecurity firm Denim Group
- Cybersecurity expert Bruce Schneier [13]
- Princeton Professor of Computer Science Ed Felten [14]
- Former federal prosecutor Mark Rasch [15] of Rasch Technology and Cyberlaw
- Cyber risk consulting company Risk Based Security [16]
- Cybersecurity and hacking expert Robert Graham [17]
- Security consultant Dan Tentler [18]
- Computer security analyst Graham Cluley [19]
- Computer security analyst Martyn Williams [20]
- Harvard Law professor and security expert Jack Goldsmith [21]
- Kim Zetter [22], an award-winning, senior staff reporter at Wired covering cybercrime
, privacy, and security
- Former Lulzsec hacker turned government informant Sabu [23]
- The hacker collective Anonymous [24]
- Security researcher Grugq [25]
- Hacker “Dr. Krypt3ia” [26]
Just because the FBI blames someone doesn't mean they did it [27]. And see this [28].
Postscript: Robert Barsocchini argues that the U.S. is to blame [29] for North Korea’s rotten leaders. And North Korea is more popular [30] with the U.S. public than our own Congress. Regardless, I still hate North Korea’s leaders for treating their people so poorly.
