Bet the Cyber Security bill will now soon be passed . . . .what a sham . . .the American people duped once again ! Indeed, Sony executives themselves are convinced that the hack was an inside job. “We’re told the people at Sony who are investigating believe the hackers had intimate knowledge of mail systems and their configurations,” reports TMZ. “They also believe the hackers have knowledge of the internal media distribution systems and the internal IT systems, including human resources and payroll.” In the Obama administration’s rush to blame North Korea for the hack, none of this evidence will even be mentioned during today’s press conference. Given how the White House and top lawmakers have breathlessly seized upon the hack to reanimate “zombie” cybersecurity legislation that was dead and buried before the convenient Sony hack provided fresh justification, past history suggests that the prime suspect for the hack should be the U.S. government itself. Those who accused the U.S. of being behind the two other most alarming cybersecurity attacks in recent years, the Stuxnet and Flame viruses, were labeled “conspiracy theorists.” It subsequently emerged that both attacks were the work of the United States and Israel. The six major Hollywood studios also stand to gain from legislation to tighten control over online piracy which will be fast tracked in part because of the Sony hack. As the Verge reports, Hollywood’s most powerful lawyers are in a war with entity they refer to as “Goliath” – Google to you and me – and are intent on resurrecting the failed SOPA bill in a bid to create new powers under which ISPs would be forced to comply with companies who demand websites accused of copyright violation be shut down on a whim with no due process whatsoever.
