US imposes sanctions on North Korea over Sony hack
Found on CNet News on Friday, 02 January 2015
President Barack Obama signed an executive order Friday to authorize sanctions that allow the US Treasury Department to restrict North Korean officials, entities and supporters from accessing the US financial system. This means Americans are not allowed to do business with them.
The FBI said it had determined the North Korean government was responsible for the hacks, based on the software used during the attacks.
Where is the evidence? The FBI said it's likely because of the language used in some software. Other security professionals say it was an inside job. So far no real evidence has been provided; and on this unstable ground Obama imposes sanctions. It could have been worse though: if North Korea would have oil like Iraq.
