The FBI has announced that North Korea is responsible for the cyber attack on Sony Pictures that led to the release of an untold amount of the company’s private data, e-mails, and information as well as the cancellation of the release of the studio’s film The Interview.
CNN reports that an FBI investigation has linked “the malware, infrastructure and techniques a group of hackers called ‘Guardians of Peace’ used in the Sony attack to previous North Korean cyberattacks” -- including those made in March of 2013 against South Korean banks and media outlets. Sources within federal law enforcement had indicated on Wednesday that the FBI had made this connection and was likely to make an announcement about the matter this week.
