Funny because the 'news agencies' I've read all point out things very differently to what you said. Initially it was more like everyone was blaming hacktivists because there was no demands, among the leaked films 'The Interview' wasn't one. Around two weeks later GOP demanded the take down of 'The Interview' which is where the suspicions on Nth Korea started to come in.

The evidence presented is that the servers and methods used are not only extremely similar to earlier in the year hacks on Sth Korean banks but there are IP addresses that are known Nth Korea hubs.

Until today, 'The Interview' remains one of the few films not leaked, except for a 2 minute clip showing the death scene.

Look, we all know NK is batshit crazy. However, one sure thing about NK is that all of their antics are obvious and they are generally boastful about what they do, but this hacking incident is different.

Besides, it's super easy to fake or redirect IP addresses.

@Chris

Except this "antic" involves a crime for which the world is still trying to grasp how to respond to. North Korea doesn't want to be caught with experimental "antics" because that might actually get them punished.

The US is considering putting NK back on the terror list and China is getting more and more fed up with NK. If tensions escalated, threat of war wouldn't be completely out of the question.

WTF are you talking about?

Like a wolf cub biting a lion on the ankle and getting cornered in response.

These days.. you never know.

Times are changing fast. :p

Well thats slander and one of those nieghbors would probably be a friend and say something, you just hire a lawyer from there and get rich. Back to the subject North Korea is and always has been a joke, the only ace up their sleeve, I mean the only ace they have are nukes and that's it. It actually could of been anyone with any knowledge on hacking or some script babies getting lucky with a program made by a real hacker. Anyway who knows, more international sanctions are soon to hit the North Korean people because of it.

@ jrmy
Let's say your neighbors are controlled by a higher authority and threatened .
About the lawyer lol he can just act that he helps you but on back scenes things are already decided by higher ups, don't be naive
