Firm blames Sony hack on canned employee, not North Korea

A prominent cyber-security company says it has uncovered evidence that suggests Sony Pictures was hacked by a team of six that was led by a dismissed company employee.

Ed Araquel/AP Actor Randall Park (center) portrays North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in 'The Interview.' The FBI maintains North Korea was responsible for hacking Sony Pictures.

A prominent cyber-security firm says it has uncovered evidence that suggests Sony Pictures was not hacked by North Korea, but rather by a team of six that was led by a dismissed company employee.

Norse’s research directly contradicts claims made by the FBI and President Obama, who have maintained the attack was carried out by the authoritarian regime.

“There is no credible information to indicate that any other individual (besides North Korean hackers) is responsible for this cyber-incident,” read a statement from the FBI, which was briefed by Norse reps on Monday.

Oh, boy. Don't know if this will be what happened or not but it does go to show that no agency or organization should not run off and make all kinds of accusations until there is absolute proof.
So the FBI and Obama will do what now? Apologize - think it is better not to. Just ignore the situation....... And I cannot for the life of me believing the FBI would ever back down on a statement they have made.

I do not think it would be resolved, anything the FBI has will not be releasable. I have had my doubts about NK being the one.
