U.S. Spies Say They Tracked ‘Sony Hackers’ For Years
2015-01-03
[Daily Beast] American spies have detailed dossiers on the North Koreans who the U.S. says were behind the Sony attack. But the still-secret evidence likely won’t convince skeptics.

The FBI and U.S. intelligence agencies for years have been tracking the hackers who they believe to be behind the cyber attack on Sony, according to current and former American officials. And during that long pursuit, U.S. agencies accumulated still-classified information that helps tie the hackers to the recent Sony intrusion.
Building dossiers, writing reports, and intelligence summaries, the usual. Basically waiting for a 9/11 type event, or an attack on the movie industry.
FBI is doubling-down on their Nork claim. Couldn't possibly be a disenchanted former Sony employee, no sir, we got dossiers!

#8  FBI and "secret hackers" don't have squat.

The pros on my TL would say something. None point to DPRK

#5  The classic problem of the person who lies every time. When he states that everything he says is a lie, then he is an oxymoroon, and vanishes up his a$$ in a puff of smoke.

#3  Our very Special Agents have been watching them for years. We'll arrest one or two, so as to not arouse any suspicion or negative publicity.

#2  The problem is, with the current Infestant of the oval orifice there is the whole "Falsus in Unum, Falsus in Omni" issue. We cannot believe anything these guys say anymore.

#1  Someone called from the WH. Have to make the boss's words good after others have put forth an insider scenario. The narrative has been settled even if it means compromising TTP.
