The hackers who attacked Sony Pictures Entertainment in November 2014 failed in many cases to cover their location 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 στον κυβερνοχώρο, 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 stated that the Guardians of Peace (GoP), the hackers who claim to have attacked Sony used proxy connections to hide their real IP address whenever they sent e-mails or made statements. But in some cases, either because the service was down or because they simply forgot to route their connection, the traffic came directly from their 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.
Despite the fact that the director added one more piece to the Sony hack performance puzzle, the security community can expect more information about the evidence that the FBI had the support of the North Korean actress is the one behind the attack.
