It may not have been an intentionally initiated plan either. Say NK starts getting suspicious traffic, one possible response is to just pull the plug. I doubt that there are a lot of non-state users to worry about - and if an enemy of the state is blamed ... oh well.
Or it could be an actual false flag operation by the US to instigate something.... Something is very weird about their attitude towards north korea regarding this break in.
a film with a second-rate comedic actor about North Korea, which in the United States on its own being released normally, would draw precisely no one
the only proof it has on North Korea’s involvement in the hacking, is “that the FBI said so,” apart from claims by the “Sony Pictures’ PR department.”
Sony was domiciled in Japan, specifically in Minato, Tokyo, Japan. And so it’s a Japanese multi-national corporation not an American one. And one would think that some sort of an offence by a state actor or anyone else against the Japanese corporation would be a concern for the Japanese government, and not the United States government,”
The North Korean government insisted on Saturday that it was not behind the hacking and proposed a joint investigation with the US to prove it had no involvement in the cyber attacks
outraged by the film showing the assassination of leader Kim Jong Un - also claimed to have 'clear evidence' that the U.S. government engineered the project as a 'propaganda' attack against North Korea.
the North Korean government is also convinced that directors Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg were under direct instruction from U.S. officials, who told them to include extra scenes to 'insult the dignity' of North Korea
a group calling themselves the Guardians of Peace has claimed credit.
Guardians of Peace responded to the FBI with a message on Saturday, mocking their investigation and trolling them with a video that essentially called them idiots.
