The attackers uploaded “Annie” to the internet. It wasn’t supposed to be released until Christmas. Sony says this part of the attack alone is expected to cost them tens of dollars.
Seriously though, what sucks is that the attackers released personal info(SS#’s) for thousands of employees.
With the FBI and Mandiant both working on investigating the attacks, they should soon know with some certainty where the attacks originated, if they don’t already.
Though I don’t think it’s widely acknowledged, I do believe the US quietly retaliates when it comes to cyber warfare.I hope they do anyways.
Remember when a top official admitted that China or other countries teamed up could shut down large sections of our grid? At the time, experts commented that just like China, we have already infiltrated their grid as well and could do much the same damage to them.
The new age of mutually assured destruction.
“In a stunning show of overwhelming force, the United States launched a broad spectrum cyber attack on North Korea in response to their recent hack of Sony.
Witnessed to the devastating attack were unable to find any sign of operational network activity across large parts of the country with estimates that over 98% of the population had no internet access.
There were further reports that vacuum tubes across the nation were glowing at less than half intensity and both elevators in the capitol city of Pyongyang were not working.”
Although North Korea has denied involvement in the Sony attack, the #GOP (Guardians of Peace) message reads like any other convoluted North Korean to English translated message:
“stop immediately showing the movie of terrorism which can break the regional peace and cause the War!”

Yeah, after all the time I’ve lived in South Korea, I can easily recognise the weird parsing and sentence structure of the North Korean Ministry of Propaganda.
You would think a country that can somehow field a capable hacking team could find a person that could translate propaganda threats into viable English. Maybe it’s a company policy to mangle English.
