美国披露索尼受网络攻击细节  

The director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has offered fresh details of the cyber attack on Sony Pictures as he defended the US claim that North Korea was responsible.
Some inter security consultants have cast doubt on Pyongyang’s involvement in the data breach
but James Comey
the FBI director
said he had “high confidence” in the bureau’s conclusion and cited recently declassified material.
Guardians of Peace
the group claiming credit for the attack
used proxy services to disguise their location when sending emails threatening Sony employees and posting statements online explaining their work
he said. But
he added
they got “sloppy”.
他说，在发出电子邮件威胁索尼员工并在网上贴出解释其工作的声明时，声称为此次网络袭击负责的“和平卫士(Guardians of Peace)”使用了代理服务掩饰他们的位置。不过，他补充说，这些人的处理“十分草率”。
“Several times either because they fot or they had a technical problem they connected directly and we could see them. And we could see that the IP addresses that were being used to post and to send the emails were ing from IPs that were exclusively used by the North Koreans
” he said.
His ments came in response to recent allegations by a private puter security firm that said the cyber attack
which revealed embarrassing emails
salary information about employees
and other sensitive information
was more likely to be an inside job. Sony’s chief executive called the attack “vicious”.
Mr Comey said the FBI was still looking to identify the “vector” of the attack but said “the likely vector for the entry into Sony” evolved from a spear phishing attempt on the pany as late as last September. Spear phishing is a technique deployed by hackers who send emails posing as someone known to the recipient
seeking information such as passwords.
Mr Comey was speaking at a cyber conference held by the FBI and Fordham University.
