The FBI has concluded that North Korea played at least a major role in the Sony hack:
FBI says "tools" used by North Korea in Sony cyber attack are similar to a 2013 intrusion on South Korean banks and media by the North.

FBI STATEMENT: "…the FBI now has enough information to conclude that the North Korean government is responsible" for the hacking of SONY.

Will there be a response from the U.S. government?
Now up to Pres Obama to decide how the US will respond to the North Korean cyber attack. WH says it's weighing a "proportional response."

The definition of “proportional” remains to be seen.
@markknoller @MelissaTweets Because nothing communicates resolve and commitment more than the phrase "proportional response".

What would be proportional 4 a nation that has zero multinational entertainment businesses, & already economically destroyed? @markknoller

@markknoller Why does it have to proportional? Wouldn't overwhelming response accomplish more?
