The Obama administration says it’s determined the North Korean government was behind a devastating hacking attack against Sony Pictures Entertainment.

I’m looking for an explanation as to why an attack, of any kind, on a Japanese company merits our involvement, and why any response is in our national interest.

I think they see it as an escalation in cyber-terrorism. If the North Koreans are willing to do this over a butthurt, what else are they willing to do?

Funny that after Obama made the ‘proportional response’ comment in his presser North Korea came out with a whole ‘we didn’t do it!’ line, while China is sitting in the background saying, ‘yeah, they’re a bunch of dicks.’

Well, they were threatening an American movie and the movie release was here in the US. If this was a foreign (not domestically produced) movie being released in a foreign country, then I’m right with you. Otherwise, hell and damnation on any nation state that threatens my two hours of mindless entertainment!
