An update from the FAZ newspaper Germany Quote:
"Attack on Sony
Are the hackers not from North Korea?
It was great Policy: North Korea is said to have hacked Sony to prevent the publication of the critical film "The Interview". But security experts now have a very different proposition.
Perhaps "The Interview" was not yet the cause of the computer attack.
It was a great political impetus, Nort Korea supposedly hacked the film servers from Sony and five partly unreleased films had posted online. Soon the American investigative authorities blamed North Korea for the Hack: The country is said to have attacked Sony, to prevent the publication of north korea-critical satire "The Interview".

Sony decided not to show the film - and took prompt criticism of President Barack Obama . Which was then insulted by North Korea as a "monkey in the jungle". At the end of Sony showed the film yet, and America was proud that it is not allowed to censor.
The software came from hacker black market
But perhaps North Korea has nothing to do with the attack on Sony. Or at least, so find more and more experts in IT security. The first was the security chief of the great Defcon hacker conference, Marc Rogers, who expressed doubts about the thesis a few days ago.
Now also questioned the Norwegian security company Norse it. In a blog post Norse is a very different proposition: For the attack itself pirates could with former Sony employees who were laid off in May, have joined forces.

The rapid blame by the American authorities have made the security community suspicious, said Norse Manager Kurt Stammberger the Bloomberg news agency. "It is difficult to find those responsible so fast - that has rarely accomplished this." All tracks that have followed in the direction of North Korea his company would have led to dead ends.
Also, the security company Trend Micro doubts the North Korea-thesis. The software that was used can be bought on the black market hackers. Great technical skills are needed to do that.
This would make Sony's movie hack in a row with the attack on the network features of Sony's Playstation at the Christmas holidays. You could be the work of a young hacker group called "Lizard Squad". A young man has known after Christmas on the attack.
A spokeswoman for the American criminal authority FBI, however, defended the North Korea-thesis. There is no credible information to other culprit" End quote
