Speculation over attribution of the Sony hack continues apace. The US National Security Council "stands by" the FBI's finding that North Korea did it, but various off-the-record statements elsewhere in the Government suggest the US is investigating a more complicated attribution involving hacktivists, skids, disgruntled insiders, extortionists, and hired guns, possibly colluding with, or acting under the direction of, the DPRK. Anti-War offers a somewhat over-heated denunciation of confirmation bias in attribution (itself offering a minor example of confirmation bias — terms like "neocon" and "Obamite" are symptomatic). Norse, an early critic of the DPRK thesis, discusses its own investigation in DarkMatters. The New York Times and Wall Street Journal publish accounts of Sony's reaction as the attack proceeded.
