There's been a request for a POV check. Apparently, the objection is to including the opinions of cybersecurity experts who doubt that North Korea was responsible, but no explanation has been given here. I think it would be POV not to include those assessments.-- Jack Upland ( talk) 09:14, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

The subsection on 'attribution' and 'doubt' carries this sentence:
Former hacker Hector Monsegur, who once hacked into Sony, explained to CBS News that exfiltrating one or one hundred terabytes of data would have taken months or years, not weeks, "without anyone noticing".
It was established a long time ago that the hackers first gained access to SPE's computer system months earlier in 2014. To repeat what was previously stated in a now archived discussion:
"[Monsegur] seems to be arguing with himself in this sentence. The FBI are well aware that the hack comprised two stages. Systems were breached and data was copied before the hackers returned and uploaded wiper malware. [Monsegur's] inclusion implies the FBI themselves have suggested the hack was short and quick affair, possibly lasting a few short days, which is simply not the case."
Quoting Hector Monsegu adds nothing of value to our article and serves only to confuse the reader. I propose that we remove his sentence. — TPX 13:40, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

"Seth Rogen also expressed doubts about the claims that North Korea was behind the hack. Based on the timeline of events and the amount of information hacked, he believes the hack may have been conducted by a Sony employee. "I've also heard people say that they think someone was hired to do the hack as a way of getting Amy Pascal fired. I don't know if I subscribe to those theories, but I kind of don't think it was North Korea.""
Does anyone give a shit what Seth Rogan thinks about this? Just a thought... Mercster ( talk) 08:41, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
