The FBI is filling in the truthiness hole left by Colbert. North Korea was never mentioned as a culprit until the media latched on to them, giving Sony and the FBI an easy out. The hackers never mentioned North Korea or The Interview in their original statement, and their attempts at broken English and Google Translate to Korean don't pass the smell test. Sony in their statements have called this an "act of cyber terrorism", which is an insanely stupid thing to say. They're skipping out on their responsibility, and if it leads to terrible legislation, we're all screwed. |

For me the timeline fits better if you go from the idea that the hackers targeted Sony with the idea that The Interview in particular might be a lucrative commodity to sell to North Korea. |
| Spak-Spang:
The other idea is that the money was a red herring...a false demand, to see how Sony would respond...or something added by the hackers for NK, but not part of the officially sactioned demands...or to even throw suspicion off of NK. |
| Triforce Hermit:
I thought it was pissed off ex-Sony employees. They got a little help through NK to **** with Sony. NK just wanted the movie gone. The ex-Sony employees wanted a little revenge and to show off the skeletons in the closet. I find it hard to believe that this is entirely one faction because a lot of this makes no sense if it is. Unless ex-Sony employees mimic NK's hacking methods. If this is entirely ex-Sony employees exclusively, then what they are doing with the Interview is seeing how far they can push before they get told no. You know, today is the Interview, tomorrow is whatever. |
| Soren:
The Interview was a special case, which allowed people to make a connection. The hackers can't really make the same demands with say, an Adam Sandler movie. |
