U.S. investigators have determined hackers working for North Korea were behind the Sony attack, and an announcement could come as soon as Thursday, U.S. law enforcement sources tell CNN's Evan Perez.
Because of the North Korean regime's tight control of the Internet in the reclusive country, U.S. officials believe the hack was ordered directly by the nation's leadership.
The hackers have exposed documents from Sony's servers, including personal information about celebrities and embarrassing emails from executives. They also said that people should avoid going to theaters to see "The Interview," which is about an attempt to kill North Korea's leader.
Sony on Wednesday canceled the film's December 25 release.

I almost pity the fools that made their veiled threat behind the keyboards...they will pay.
And I am always thinking that the FBI must know a lot more than they let on. Just think of all the resources the NSA has to track this down - taps into every internet trunk line in the world. Surely they can follow the trail to the perpetrators, and deliver a punishment to fit the crime in their own time. They may never even tell us about it, but somewhere, someday, some people will mysteriously meet up with a premature death. For sure the US Gov has an interest in this, above and beyond what they would have in hacks of Target & Home Depot, because the unique wanton destructiveness of the hack and the terrorists threats.
But, in this particular of Sony vs. North Korea, it's pretty hard to blame a private company that's under attack from a military totalitarian state. Especially once its nose has been badly bloodied.
Again you confuse Christianity with the Old Testament. The Book of Leviticus is the third book of the Hebrew Bible, and the third of five books of the Torah (or Pentateuch). It has nothing to do with Christianity. If lots of groups pull sections from the Old Testament for the goal they want, for evil ends, they are not Christians. Christians believe in Love Thy Neighbour and Do Unto Others, etc. If you have a problem with that kind of philosophy, then you have a problem. Please don't equate Christianity with Islam. It is a radical new philosophy that parts with the older philosophies. How could anybody not have respect for his teachings? He was a humble man who taught about love. He wouldn't have hurt a flee. Now I don't buy into miracles and sky daddies and all that paraphernalia, and I am not religiously trained. I am an ordinary person with no religious affiliation. But when I read what he said, I have no choice but to respect what he said. It is that simple.
btw: I am not a Christian, but I have the greatest respect for the teachings of Jesus. I also respect Mahatma Gandhi and the Deli Lama, among many others. That doesn't mean I am a Hindu or a Buddhist either.
For sure there are a lot of Bible thumping assholes out there, but that is a statement about what kind of person they are, not what kind of person Christ was.
Wow - Thanks for that link...
Sydney siege live: Loud explosions heard as police storm Lindt cafe

Police have stormed the Lindt cafe in Sydney after an intense period of loud explosions or gunshots and flashes of lights.
It's not really about Islam or Christianity. Both holy books contain a lot of questionable, self-justifying violence.
You can't confuse Christianity with the Old Testament, which is the book you seem to be referring to. Christianity is about the teachings of Christ, its founder. The teachings of Christ include no self-justifying violence whatsoever. Zilch - nada. To the contrary, the teachings of Christ are about Love. Just thought I might clarify that for you, as you seeme to be confused.
The Islamic State guys are
I really respect what you are saying in general, about greed and poverty, as it appears to come from a good heart and personal experience. However, I really doubt the Islamic State guys are motivated by socioeconomic suffering. I'm not sure what their motivation is but I can speculate on many other sources for motivation.
It's the Americans who created ISIS. See this...
Unless and until they make demands, and especially political demands, they aren't "terrorists".
From Google: "terrorist" - a person who uses terrorism in the pursuit of political aims.
Slightly different than "making demands". Perhaps merely making a political statement would fit the definition. In the specific instances, it is not clear there were making a political statement. I'm not sure they actually said anything, so you may well be right that they weren't terrorists. Good point.
Only through hard work and perseverance can one truly suffer.
