The Sony Hack Fraud

A classic case of confirmation bias

by Justin Raimondo, December 31, 2014




The progression of the government’s case indicting North Korea for hacking Sony’s computer system – and revealing the petty ego-trips of Hollywood’s glitterrati – was succinctly summed up by computer security expert Jeffrey Carr in a pithy tweet:

"NK did it 100%
OK, NK did it w/ help
OK, NK outsourced it
OK, NK was told later and bought them drinks
God dammit, NK is guilty of something"

The idea that Kim Jong-un was so enraged by a "comedy" that dramatizes his assassination – and, in the process, underscores the juvenility of its creators – was never all that credible to begin with. And the case for pinning the hack on the Hermit Kingdom goes rapidly downhill when one examines the initial communications from the "Guardians of Peace," as the hackers dubbed themselves, which never so much as mentioned "The Interview" and instead simply demanded money. It wasn’t until the media and the FBI itself suggested a North Korean connection that the hackers picked up on this diversion and ran with it.

Speaking of diversions: the FBI announced a few days after the hack that they had "conclusive" evidence of North Korea’s guilt. The malware, they said, was "similar" to the kind that had been used by suspected North Korean hackers in the past and was "in the Korean language." This is laughable, since a) the malware was widely disseminated and easily obtainable, b) the "Korean language" spoken in the north is significantly different from the southern dialect, and c) anyone who wanted to cover their tracks would be very unlikely to leave these rather transparent "clues."

What other "evidence" do the feds have? Well, it seems the malicious software unleashed http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2014/12/30/the-sony-hack-fraud/
