Gotnews.com can confirm that North Korea was not behind the Sony hack contrary to major media reports.
An investigation into the data shows that someone copied the released 200GB of data over 5-6 hours on the night of November 21st.

Inside job.
The 600k a year man mentioned was the publicity guy. One of the emails leaked reveals Amy Pascal (studio head) was ticked she didn’t participate in a Hollywood media roundtable of the studio heads. Her friend told her to fire the publicity head. She did.
Two days later the big leak happens and there was no doubt now it was an inside job.
Once the documents were out there, any number of bad actors would be willing to claim ‘credit’ for the leak.
North Korea makes a convenient patsy.
Everyone here in faggywood/L.A. knows it as the few days I spoke with producers who deal with Sony, they knew. “GOP” is the hacker group...in libtard land. C’mon.
Initially the hacker asked for ransom. Later that was changed to the movie axing.
Here’s an early story:

Everybody have a good Christmas. Forget all the prop nonsense and have faith in God.
If so, our peez was irresponsible for blaming North Korea. Seems he would have better Intel.
This “Got News” blog is ridiculous. Twice in the past month Johnson had to retract major claims, after red-hot headlines. This is a huge stretch by him to declare this an inside SONY job, and the exec he suggests did it can certainly sue him based on this.
As are about 95% of so-called hacks.
Unless it’s true.
This is the thread from the day the hacks first happened:

This does not surprise me at all. The first level of security is the physical level, i.e., access to the physical network. If you have a computer connected to a physical cable, you are almost all the way there. All you need then is a user account.
To get through firewalls and routers, that takes a bit more effort. After that, you still need a user account.
There was a story the insider / hacker was going to be arrested soon. Then everything spun to North Korea.
I wonder why North Korea is the story ‘they’ want. ?
Does Sony get some insurance claim or in some way let off the hook if an outsider nation hacked them and not a ticked off recently fired employee?
What is the ‘win’ for Obama being able to blame North Korea? If anything, it makes the U.S. and the companies based here (Sony is viewed as technological high tech and even they got hacked) as weak and potential victims.
What’s the political win for Obama?
That is why most “hacks” involve at least some inside involvement. Typically, the company will do everything they can to deny insider involvement, because that ratchets up their legal exposure exponentially. Every company should have a security policy in place for immediate execution in the event of employee termination. Companies that don’t are just begging to be sued.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I believe our prez is behind it so He can get control of the internet....
Lies make the world go round.
Johnson has no cred.
I tend to agree, probably inside job. I was a systems engineer, doing some critical testing with another engineer on a tight deadline at one place. There was a network manager blocking my requests for access between a couple sites miles from each other, frustrating me for a couple weeks. When no one was looking, we ran a couple patch cables from our equipment bypassing his firewalls and routers, got the connection, completed our testing of a bank of servers and removed the bypass. The network manager never knew. The guy was too anal and paranoid. Later on, he blocked some important department heads and got canned. In short, there is lots of politics and subterfuge going on in companies that is not always visible.
the same people who blamed an obscure internet video for Benghazi? Thats not intel and not being irresponsible, That is a pattern.
