Default Did North Korea Really Attack Sony?

From an article by Bruce Schneier at http://www.theatlantic.com/internati...ngle_page=true

Quote:
I am deeply skeptical of the FBI’s announcement on Friday that North Korea was behind last month’s Sony hack. The agency’s evidence is tenuous, and I have a hard time believing it. But I also have trouble believing that the U.S. government would make the accusation this formally if officials didn’t believe it.

Yeah, as someone living in the US, I fear that if the FBI says it, my first thought is Who is paying them to lie to us this time.

The FBI doesn't know everything. North Korea is so old news. They had nothing to do with it. The actual culprit was the electronic warfare arm of ISIS.

China using North Korea as a proxy. North Korea doesn't even have the power to run a computer for 24 hours.

North Korea's Nukes Are Scarier Than Its Hacks

Also see North Korea and weapons of mass destruction at Wikipedia. The RationalWiki page on North Korea (and the various articles it references) is a good place to start to learn more about North-Korea in general.
