NSA United States hacked the system of hackers in North Korea long before the attack on Sony

When the US government accused North Korea of ​​organizing hacking sony company, they had reasons for this, although this was not publicly reported. It’s not just the plot of the film “The Interview,” which became one of the main targets of the hack. It’s just that American specialists have been personally monitoring North Korean hackers since 2010, says the New York Times.

According to the publication, former US officials, foreign authorized persons, computer experts and another classified NSA document that was recently published on the website of the German news agency Spiegel, confirm the fact that the NSA invaded the organization of North Korean hackers in 2010 year.

This was originally done to protect the country in case of an impending threat. A person close to the investigation said that North Korean specialists had been preparing to hack Sony for more than two months, but American engineers “didn’t even understand how serious it was.”

Now it has become known why President Barack Obama so quickly made open accusations against the government of another country, which has never happened before, writes the New York Times.

However, the delay between the attack and the accusations was still present, but for what reason?

US authorities quickly uncovered the source of the threat, officials said. “It was much more difficult to decide how to respond to this,” says one White House official, writes AmericaRu.com
