Godsmak]Experts doubt North Korea was behind the big Sony hack
http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/27/tech/north...p;iref=obinsite"It's clear to us, based on both forensic and other evidence we've collected, that unequivocally they are not responsible for orchestrating or initiating the attack on Sony," said Sam Glines, who runs the cybersecurity company Norse.
A lot of security experts since day 1 have said the evidence provided doesn't prove it was North Korea, but who is to say the FBI doesn't have evidence they didn't make public. If the NSA puts a backdoor in some hacking software that gets used by hackers in china, and then china sells it to North Korea. There is absolutely no way we would let the cat out of the bag about our exploits. We would just come up with some bs evidence to release to the public. 95% who don't know shit about computers to even question the results.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was becoming a more common practice in Federal Departments. Look at the Silk Road 2 server "leaky captcha" case, that then changed to Silk Road 2 server "leaky myphpwebadmin" case. The FBI releases bullshit that security experts agree wouldn't provide them with the servers IP address. They don't want people to know their trade secrets, which could be anything from the NSA is sniffing every single piece of internet traffic going in and out of iceland, or they have thousands of tor exit nodes, or some other crazy shit.
Parallel construction has been tossed around a lot lately. The NSA finds the goods, and gives the FBI a "tip" that leads them in the right direction. The FBI can't give up the secrets they use so they come up with some fancy lies.
It's impossible to tell where the truth starts and where the lies end.
