The FBI says that North Korea is responsible for massive cyber attack suffered by Sony.

The info and if the Hollywood scenario became reality? Rumors, fantasies and much speculation since Sony suffered a massive cyber attack , which include forced the giant of the film industry to cancel the release of his film The Interview North Korea was behind this bold maneuver. A hypothesis that takes a little more thick Friday with an announcement from the FBI.

The federal office says the government attack on investigation could establish the responsibility of North Korea, but also the potential involvement of China in this case. Beijing played a role either because the Chinese have worked with hackers, either because they would have used Chinese servers to disguise the origin of their attack. The attack against Sony is not acceptable behavior for a state, concluded the FBI.

A response to cyber warfare? Some experts, like Bruce Bennett, an analyst specializing in defense at RAND Corporation, advocated a strong response from the White House to discourage North Korea to conduct more serious attacks .

This revelation comes as the White House is actively considering ways to respond to the cyber attack. He stressed that the Americans could use unconventional replicas like getting DVD Interview in North Korea or to fuiter compromising information on the Kim family, who ruled the country with an iron hand .

China potentially involved. There are indications that hackers have worked from China using Chinese IP addresses.

If it is true, Beijing’s role should be denounced, Mr. Bennett. Moreover, the UN Security Council should hold its first meeting on violations of human rights in North Korea next week.
