The FBI and the President may claim that the Hermit Kingdom is to blame for the most high-profile network breach in forever. But almost all signs point in another direction.
I've never seen North Korea demonstrate anything like the savvy we saw from whoever did hack SONY.
Besides, their responses do not make sense for one who would have done the hack. There would have to be some occasion, leverage, advancement, something connected to the leaders, and it just isn't there.
Finally, their isolation hurts them as well as helps them. On one hand, they use Linux, and have developed some tools of their own for protection / etc... and I'm sure monitoring and logging are well executed as well.
But, like the bubble boy, unable to tolerate the outside world, North Korea really is hurt by the fact that they really don't participate as peers.
Some intel from China is possible, as would be contractors. But where in this do the leaders get their spiffs? None of it adds up on a basic level.
To doubt that North Korea did this is to doubt the FBI. And maybe our whole way of life!
What's next? Accusations of enhanced interrogation being torture? Or of pederast priests and bishops? And coverups? Or of the CIA and NSA spying on ordinary citizens as well as Congressmen and Senators? Or of white policemen shooting black teens more or less at random?
It's a slippery slope out there.
Remember - we live in the best of all possible worlds (America , that is). And as good as it is, it will only be better once the 1% own everything instead of just most of everything.

I decided it wasn't North Korea on aesthetic grounds--the alternative would make a much better movie.
