But Norse Security is taking the debate up a notch: saying that they
have conclusive evidence pointing to group of disgruntled former
employees as the source of the attack and data theft. The Security
Ledger quotes Norse Vice President Kurt Stammberger saying that Norse
has identified a group of six individuals -- in the U.S., Canada,
Singapore and Thailand -- that it believes carried out the attack,
including at least one 10-year employee of SPE who worked in a
technical capacity before being laid off in May. Rather than starting
from the premise that the Sony hack was a state sponsored attack,
Norse researchers worked their investigation like any other criminal
matter: starting by looking for individuals with the "means and
motive" to do the attack.
