- 15. By GOP The result of investigation by CNN is so excellent that you might have seen what we were doing with your own eyes. We congratulate you success. CNN is the BEST in the world. You will find the gift for CNN at the following address. https://www.youtube.com/watc h?v=hiRacdl02w4 Enjoy! P.S. You have 24 hours to give us the Wolf. Dec 24: FBI: the GOP threaten USPER2 – NEWS ORGANIZATION Dec 20: By GOP – CNN , give us the Wolf Attribution is Hard…The GoP pastebin hoax Dec 31: Homeland Security writer takes credit as a joke
- 16. Insiders? o This Trojan uses stored user name and password combination to get access to the other machines. How did attackers get them? They must have known the internal network, either from insiders or previous attacks.
- 17. Alternative Arguments? … Similarity to other APT attacks o August 2012 o Shamoon rendered up to 30,000 computers inoperable at Saudi Aramco, the national oil company of Saudi Arabia. o Credit claimed by Cutting Sword of Justice o 2013 o DarkSeoul, a hacking group with suspected links to North Korea, performed a delayed wipe on 32,000 systems at South Korean banks and media companies o Credit claimed by Whois
- 18. North Koreans? o The resource section of the main file shows that the language pack used was Korean.
- 19. North Korea? Argument #1 FBI Bulletin, Dec 19 o Technical analysis of the data deletion malware used in this attack revealed links to other malware that the FBI knows North Korean actors previously developed. For example, there were similarities in specific lines of code, encryption algorithms, data deletion methods, and compromised networks. o The FBI also observed significant overlap between the infrastructure used in this attack and other malicious cyber activity the U.S. government has previously linked directly to North Korea. For example, the FBI discovered that several Internet protocol (IP) addresses associated with known North Korean infrastructure communicated with IP addresses that were hardcoded into the data deletion malware used in this attack. o Separately, the tools used in the SPE attack have similarities to a cyber attack in March of last year against South Korean banks and media outlets, which was carried out by North Korea. o Hackers used their true IP address o Similar tools o Malware analysis
- 20. North Korea? Argument #2 o Snowden docs show NSA first hacked North Korea in 2010 with help from SK o “early warning radar” was implanted to monitor North Korea o Fourth party collection

- 34. Conclusions 1. Sony attack was sophisticated , targeted and politically motivated 2. In Sony’s case - early compromise harvesting the user account credentials lead to the later stage using malware designed with the credentials embedded 3. Sony is the first significant breach where the data exposure is beyond "consumer account and personal information", with direct theft of corporate assets (movies & scripts), and with legal implication on corporate obligation and contract 4. 2014 was an exceptional year for malware with successful malware breaches at Target, Sony, JPMorgan and Home Depot to name a few 5. The best defense is an approach that continuously monitors network activities and file movements, detects threat activities across threat kill chain, and correlates observations across the enterprise network
