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.

I’ve wondered about them. What stories did they have to retract?
Of course not, it was Aruba.
Frankly, the people over at the site aren’t exactly sure what all this means yet.
Some seem to be, but others are poking holes in this assumption. They aren’t claiming NK was invoved, but they aren’t exactly sure what took place yet.
If this is another of Obama’s wild lies, he should be handed his ass for lunch.
It may in fact be true that North Korea wasn’t involved. I’m not convinced this is proof of that.
It is true that when it comes to the truth, Obama and company as well as Clinton and company would lie for the sake of lying if the truth would actually be better and benefit them.
They are world class liars and idiots. Sadly, nobody that seems to matter are calling them on it.
I lean pretty close to that opinion myself.
That’s why I believed the North Koreans over this administration.
A digital “Reichstag Fire”, that’s what this all is.
Except it usually isn't.
And if you post as many untruths as he has, you don't help your "side". You hurt it. Take a good long look at how many stories he has "broke" that he has had to retract.
A week or so ago, he identified the UVA rape accuser, Except, it wasn't her at all, and he identified a woman who wasn't involved.
Let's cover that again. He identified an innocent woman by photo as "Jackie and it was not her.

And he "broke" a lurid story about a New York Times reporter who posed for Playboy. Except it wasn't true. His source was a satirical school newspaper that was obviously and painfully fake. One way you can tell the paper was made-up and totally fake is that Elvis didn't show up to sing to students. Oh, and none of the professors have super psychic mind powers.

And he paid that "witness" involved in the Thad Cochran election debacle. The guy made outrageous claims and by the time the whole thing was sorted out and the guy admitted he was lying, the chance to do anything about any actual fraud was totally gone.

As you will also see from that article, he was discovered to be working for an anti-Cory Booker PAC and made up the "report" about Booker not living in Newark.
But, the funniest thing he's done BY FAR, IMO is tweeting about being willing to pay for a copy of NYT reporter David Carr's mugshot. David Carr himself publicly responded with his mugshot, which is found on the cover of his (Carr's) book. Which has been out for five years. And was on the est-seller's list.

But yeah, chances are, if you want to hear it, it's true. Or truthy. Or maybe it's that other thing... that "not true" thing.
You have me confused with a liberal.
Or truthy.
A bit of the liberal lexicon. Maybe you have me confused with yourself.
Or maybe it's that other thing... that "not true" thing.
Don't know anything about this blog, but I do know that about 95% of so-called security hacks, leaks, and exposures have some [and usually, exclusively] insider involvement. I suspect that's true in the instant case, and think it's probably unlikely that North Korea is involved. Anonymous said it is not, and their track record is certainly better than this bloggers. The "hackers" themselves deny that they're Norks, FWIW.
Was Edward Snowden a low-level "network administrator" contractor who just happened to have extraordinary access? Or was he, as some co-workers described him "a genius among geniuses?" Did he really leak damaging information, or was it a controlled release of methods that was going to come out anyway? Or is he part of an NSA disinformation legend? Is the US energy grid really vulnerable? Or is that a fund-raising gimmick for counter-intel agencies? Or a honey trap?
With regard to what we are told about cybercrime, very little of it is true, and when it intersects intelligence agencies' agendas, none of it is true at all. None.
>> Thats not intel and not being irresponsible, That is a pattern.
I would love to see the agencies’ internal polling data about favorable Administrations. I’m guessing the Regimes that piss in their boots don’t poll very well.
I agree the Norks probably weren’t responsible. While the Sony movie lampooned Kim Jung-un, who in North Korea would ever see it? If the Norks had the capability to do such a hack why just use it to release salacious Sony email? Wouldn’t the US financial system or electrical grid be better targets? It would be a good bet that it was an inside job by a disgruntled Sony employee who conveniently used this movie as a cover and North Korea as a patsy.
It’s relatively easy to blame North Korea for the hack because the film lampoons Kim Jung-Un’s regime.
That's why I think it was an inside job. And FWIW, the so-called "hacker group", "Guardians Of Peace" doesn't exist.
Fred notes: Don't know anything about this blog, but I do know that about 95% of so-called security hacks, leaks, and exposures have some [and usually, exclusively] insider involvement.
Yep. North Korea doesn't have the resources to produce a truly world-class group of warrior hackers
Communism must force productivity and thus lacks the ability to produce genius. True hackers are going to come from a place where prosperity is the reward. When prosperity is denied to producers/geniuses, production/genius withers. Reagan was right -- communism is a self-destroying system, doomed to fail. So the idea that there are some driven genius NK hackers at hand ... is far fetched.
That truth makes me think that North Korea is a pawn here.
Sony is a HUGE supporter and donater to Obama and the Dems, and if the FBI said it was NK Terrorism, then Sony will get MILLIONS in Terrorism Insurance payouts!!! If it was an inside job, they wouldn't get these millions!!
I work in an industry that is a big target for hack/intrusion attempts. We have security on top of security. And uncountable stories of network frustrations.
Many people spend lots of time trying to figure ways around the security in order to do their jobs. Much like your patch cable story. It is too bad the powers that be do not realize that by blocking everything, they instead end up with things like patch cables bypassing firewalls.
North Korea wouldn’t waste their time on something like this. If they can penetrate Sony from the outside, they can probably penetrate every large corporation and there is a LOT MORE valuable information (i.e., that can be sold to other countries) that can be cleaned from productive companies than ones that specialize in “the arts”.
This is not surprising. If proven, more egg on Obama’s face for blaming Korea.
