I did not attribute it to any organisation or nation state in particular. This is impossible at this stage and I _do not believe_ much in the North Korean connection either. This was an attack of a pretty uncommon type, clearly intended to disrupt Sony's business as long as possible and eventuelly destroy the company thereafter. Apparently it was very well planned and this not only on the technical layer. Most of the damage to Sony was and will be done on the information layer: when these tons of personal and sensitive data leaked onto the net are being exploited by common criminals. As to the quality of the intruders' carefully crafted narrative just mind the subject of this thread is "confused by the Sony Hack." Four weeks after this spectacular attack and despite so many different moves of the attackers it still cannot be attributed. This kind of quality points as well to a state sponsored organization.
