The hackers who attacked Sony Pictures Entertainment in November 2014 they failed in many cases to cover their position through the proxy connections and revealed their real IP addresses, said the Director of FBI James Comey on Wednesday.
Comey delivered a speech at the annual International Conference on better safety in cyberspace, International Conference on Cyber Security (ICCS) στη Νέα Υόρκη, στο Πανεπιστήμιο Fordham και αποκάλυψε μερικά από τα στοιχεία της έρευνας για το hack της Sony.
James Comey said the Guardians of Peace (GoP), the hackers claiming to have attacked Sony, used mediation links to hide their real IP address every time they e-mailed or made statements. But in some cases, either because the service was malfunctioning or simply forgot to launch their connection, the move came directly from real addresses, which are used exclusively by North Korean operators.
Comey added that he can not reveal any more as his service should protect her sources because she believes that such incidents will happen again.
Although the director added another piece to the puzzle of Sony's performance hack, the security community can expect more information on the evidence that the FBI had the support of the North Korean actress is the one behind the attack.
