The FBI rejects ‘inside job’ theory in the Sony hacking

 Since the FBI came to the conclusion that North Korea was behind the Sony hacking they have felt some blow-back from internet security researchers who claimed the FBI could not possibly have found the source of the hacking so quickly.

  Yesterday the FBI met with Norse, a leader in internet security, about the possibility that the hacking was done by a disgruntled Sony employee.

  Today the FBI rejected that theory, here is more:

U.S. law enforcement officials say an alternate theory of the Sony hack doesn’t stand up.

After FBI agents were briefed yesterday, they concluded the security company offering the alternate theory did not have an accurate understanding of all the evidence, a U.S. official familiar with the matter told POLITICO today.

The three-hour meeting with FBI investigators yesterday by cyber intelligence firm Norse “did not improve the knowledge of the investigation,” according to the U.S. official.

Investigators are open to new information brought forth by researchers, the official said, but it became clear in the meeting yesterday that Norse’s evidence was “narrow” and not an accurate analysis of the information, the official said.

    I am not going to pretend that I know what the truth is: the FBI could be right in their analysis, or they could be dismissing this new information out of hand simply to avoid the embarrassment of having to admit they jumped to the wrong conclusion.

  What do you guys think is the real truth?
