In the meantime, the attack appears to be linked to a hotel in Bangkok, Thailand. Those emails threaten employees into disavowing the company to prevent further attacks.The attackers ask the recipients to sign their names to object the false of the company if they don’t want to suffer damage. They go on saying that if the employees don’t, not only them but their families will be in danger.In the meantime, the Federal Bureau of Investigation confirmed that they are aware of threatening emails the employees of the corporation receive. The police continue to investigate the issue trying to identify those responsible for the attack, during which plenty of confidential data, such as usernames, passwords, email addresses, payment details and social security numbers were stolen. It is now believed that the attack originated from a 5-star hotel in the center of Bangkok, Thailand.Security experts admit that the threats to the employees of the suffered company could have been sent from copycats or any person who had access to the information leaked online via file-sharing services. The representatives of the company confirmed that the email claimed to be from “GOP” – this name was used by the Guardians of Peace hacking group, which is believed to be the initial attacker who stole the data.Investigations of the police and Sony are still ongoing. They already mooted the North Korea’s involvement over the release of the movie The Interview by Sony, as it depicts an attempt to assassinate Kim Jong-un. The country denied its involvement in the attack.source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven36 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Why do i get the feeling the FBI really dont know ? To begin with the FBI officially pinned the blame for the attack on North Korea and President Barack Obama. There's a list of seven command and control servers located in Thailand, Poland, Italy, Bolivia, Singapore, Cypress and the United States that could spreed this kind of malware .Why I dont fell bad for Sony I fell bad for the people who worked for them, there personal info exposed . This could happen anyone you think all hackers are your friends? There not I seen them rob peoples bank accounts and then the bank have to pay it back . This could happen to you and you may live some place were the banks are not so well covered . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
