Telegraph: Reports the following, " China may have helped North Korea carry out the hacking attack on Sony Pictures, a US official has told Reuters....There were also reports on Friday that Iran and Russia may have also helped the North Korean hackers ".
Lets Get Real:
North Korea might think because Sony folded over this move then they might try someone, the NSA has to come down hard on North Korea and so does the Oval Office, what if there is a book, TV show, film, Internet project that upsets the North Koreans and they threaten cyber warfare on banks, the power grid, planes, etc you get the idea, you do not give a fool like the leader of North Korea that thought. Thus the US should come out with tough sanctions, even tougher that the tough sanctions on North Korea already. Evil should never be appeased, so lets put two fingers up to North Korea and its prat leder.
