After Sony Hack, Is U.S. Grid Next?

Experts say Pyongyang likely would need help from China

WASHINGTON – Now that U.S. intelligence has blamed North Korea for the Nov. 24 cyber attack on Sony Pictures, there is growing concern that the Hermit Kingdom has the capability of bringing down the vulnerable U.S. national grid system.

However, national security experts question North Korea’s capability to take down an entire grid system alone through a cyber attack, as opposed to targeting an individual company.

The basis for the attack on Sony was the Dec. 25 release of the comedy movie “The Interview,” which depicts the North Korean leader, Kim Jung-un, engaged in an orgy and ultimately being assassinated, with the top of his head blown off by agents of the Central Intelligence Agency.

The success of the Sony attack, with the warning from the hackers that cinemas showing the movie would be attacked, prompted Sony to cancel release of the movie.

The move not only increased concern that North Korea, a sophisticated proxy or any cyber could bring the U.S. to its knees through attacks on its critical infrastructure, it demonstrated an ability to curb American citizens’ First Amendment right of free expression.

At first, North Korea wasn’t assessed to have the capability of such an electronic attack. But U.S. intelligence sources said it increases the threat of an attack on the nation’s life-sustaining, critical infrastructure.

Sources told WND it was the 3,000-person North Korean Unit 121 that undertook the sophisticated attack on Sony.

“You have to assume that North Korea is in our grid,” said retired Col. Cedric Leighton, a former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer.

He did not elaborate on the extent of the communist nation’s ability to launch a cyber attack on the U.S. grid.

      Stop feeding the propaganda and lies! “US intelligence says so” translates to a freaking lie time after time. The grid will probably ultimately go down, but it will be at the hands of a false flag FROM US intelligence.

      Stop with the lies, you know nothing!

      The Sony Hack has all the hallmarks of an inside job. Sony Pictures and the CIA both have motive to propagandize this film and target North Korea. It is also being used as a smoke and mirrors campaign to justify the Surveillance State
