FBI calls Sony hack 'organized' but declines to name source or finger North Korea
The FBI declined to name the source of the Sony Pictures hack during a U.S. Senate hearing on Wednesday.
"I won't touch on the attribution piece because we're still working very hard on that," said Joseph Demarest, assistant director of the FBI's cyber division. Demarest's comment was in reply to questions from Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) during a hearing of the Senate Banking Committee.
"I think most of us were shocked at the sophistication of the breach of Sony," Schumer said. "Fingers are pointing to North Korea. It's sort of surprising that a country like North Korea, which is sophisticated in a few areas but not very sophisticated in most, would have such an amazing ability to turn a large company into a knot."
