So....

It was North Korea.
Or it was someone else.

Not all that insightful, actually.

I mentioned it was considered. Perhaps I didn't provide sufficient context.

The article is titled "Not Proven" and uses the term as defined by Scottish criminal law.

Another comment from Schneier on the Sony intrusion: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archiv...from_th_4.html

Quote:
We know people who do penetration testing for a living -- real, no-holds-barred attacks that mimic a full-on assault by a dogged, expert attacker -- and we know that the expert always gets in. Against a sufficiently skilled, funded and motivated attacker, all networks are vulnerable. But good security makes many kinds of attack harder, costlier and riskier. Against attackers who aren't sufficiently skilled, good security may protect you completely.
