This is occurring after the hacker group who claimed the attack (Guardians of Peace), sent the FBI a letter thanking them for blaming North Korea, calling the FBI the best (sic), and linked to a youtube video that called the FBI "an idiot".[1]

Did anyone else hear "America, fuck yeah!" after the last paragraph of that CNN article?

"Yes, let's go out and get all the republicans (the unintentional irony of the GOP supporting the movie notwithstanding) to buy tickets to see this movie to show those foreigners that when terrorists try to scare us, we just buy a bunch of useless shit."

Perhaps one of the dumbest things I've heard in response to this situation yet.

Sorry - I know I'm fairly new as a commenter (long time listener, nearly-first time caller!), and my karma may take a nosedive for this one. I just couldn't hold this one inside.


Is this [1] the original message? How does anyone know this was actually uploaded by the Sony hackers?

That appears to be the original content, but from what I've read it was posted on pastebin, so this is likely a re-post by somebody.


Why does anyone think this is the same people, though?


That video is ages old. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiRacdl02w4


the upload wasn't by them obviously, but they linked to it as a sort of message.


uhm I think that's a very old (2004?) flash from 2ch
