Wrongly Accused: North Korea WAS NOT BEHIND Sony HACK

North Korea's government accusation of being behind the hacking of Sony by the FBI just last week has been proofed wrong and false by cybercrime experts

Even though was immediately denied by the North Korean leader of any involvement and demanding an apology from the United States for their 'evil doings.' And while that apology is probably never coming, it seems that Kim Jong-un may be right, at least according to numerous cybersecurity experts and hackers who have come forward to not only point out the flaws in the FBI's investigation, but also possibly reveal the identity of the culprit.

One of the FBI conclusion regarding IP addresses used in the attack are addresses similar to North Korea in previous attacks on US was disproved. According to Harris, "the reasoning is flawed as these addresses are used by everyone from major hackers to even small time Internet criminals to avoid detection, meaning these addresses could tie virtually anyone in the hacking community, or even someone using stolen credit cards to shop online and avoid detection, to the attack." Mailonline reports.
 

"Then, there is the fact that the demand by the hacking group, who call themselves the Guardians of Peace, that the The Interview not be released was not announced until weeks into the hack, and only after some members of the media had begun to perpetuate the now widely accepted story that the goal of the hack was to make sure The Interview would never be distributed by Sony." was also disregarded as false.

According to Kurt Stammberger, a senior vice president with cybersecurity firm Norse, who also repeated many of Harris' statements in a separate interview, and said that he believed given the severity of the hack it had to have been an inside job, UKmailonline reported.
 

Stammberger, whose company decided to carry out their own independent investigation, told CBS News; 'We are very confident that this was not an attack master-minded by North Korea and that insiders were key to the implementation of one of the most devastating attacks in history.' And that their research seems to be pointing them towards a woman named Lena who even claims be a member of Guardians of Peace. 
 

'This woman was in precisely the right position and had the deep technical background she would need to locate the specific servers that were compromised,' said Stammberger.

Truly, if all these findings are true, then North Korea deserve an apology from the US owing to the blackout, mockery and global embarrassment they have suffered.
