Security experts: FBI report light on evidence linking North Korea to Sony hack

[Jesus Malverde]

Even after the Federal Bureau of Investigation's official statement that North Korea was behind the Sony attack, many cybersecurity experts are still skeptical the hermit nation is truly the culprit, citing a lack of new and more convincing evidence.

“It’s mostly a repeat of information that has been in the public before,” Rob Graham, chief executive officer of research firm Errata Security, said of the FBI's statement issued Friday.

Many prominent names in the field, Graham and others, took to Twitter to express their concern. "I'm completely underwhelmed by the FBI's 'proof' attributing Sony attack to North Korea," Graham tweeted from his @ErrataRob account.

14. Well, come up with some sort of evidence that's better than what the FBI has provided.

Because so far, you have bupkiss. Maybe space aliens did it. We can't rule it out.

12. I take your point of the article, but still.. it's a bit of a coincidence..

do you have any speculation as to who did the hacking, and why?

15. The FBI is under no obligation to reveal their evidence in this matter

If they were to lay it all out there, they could compromise key intelligence assets and intelligence gathering methods. I am completely underwhelmed by Rob Graham's opinion on this matter.
