From Politico.com:
FBI briefed on alternate Sony hack theory
by Tal Kopan
FBI agents investigating the Sony Pictures hack were briefed Monday by a security firm that says its research points to laid-off Sony staff, not North Korea, as the perpetrator — another example of the continuing whodunit blame game around the devastating attack.
Even the unprecedented decision to release details of an ongoing FBI investigation and President Barack Obama publicly blaming the hermit authoritarian regime hasn’t quieted a chorus of well-qualified skeptics who say the evidence just doesn’t add up.
Something tells me you can place this into the “More To Come” category, with a sub-category of “Obama Sticks Foot In Mouth Once More.”
Man, this is getting good.

Weren’t there initial reports of a phrase in the programming that only the NK’s use? I suppose someone wanting to confuse others could use that as a diversion, but the report seemed to indicate that was the way to tell whether it was a Chinese attack, as opposed to N. Korean.
I’m fearful. We’re depending entirely too much on electronic tools. At some point, whether by messing with the operation internally, or frying the whole system with an EMP, we’re gonna find ourselves wishing for pencil and paper.
Guns, ammo, water…
Gosh I’m sick of watching this disaster unfold.
If there’s one thing with which I wholeheartedly concur, Sir Greybeard, it’s that we’d best move into more Analog and less Digital. Now they’re talking about cars, trains and aircraft being hacked and hijacked. Hmmm, I wonder. . .

BZ….Are you going to post your holiday safe driving tips this year? If so, I want to pass it on again as there are some items in it that a lot of us don’t know.
I’m trying to recall. . .did I do that last year?

I think it was last year and I got a couple of tips from you I did not already know.
Along with Graybeards remark, it was said that ROC IPs were involved.
Oh, and Benghazi was all about a video some guy made.
But when they say inside job, I’ve suspected Sony itself all along.
It sure made for some interesting reading, though, Ed. . .confirming what we already knew: people in Hollyweird are narcissists.
