682: Sir Duke Don Tomaso Di Toronto Presents
Sony Hack Forensics, Norse Cybersecurity Investigation, Insider Threat
Cybersecurity firm Norse challenged the FBI's claim that North Korea was responsible for the Sony Pictures hack, suggesting instead that it was an inside job. Norse investigators identified a former employee, "Lena," who had the technical background and access necessary to compromise specific servers. The firm argues that North Korean "fingerprints" found on the malware were likely decoys or red herrings used by the actual hackers.
