"They revealed their IP address"
How many technical experts do we need to explain that IP address is not proof, especially when many random IPs and proxies are involved.
Suppose I am a hacker who wants it to seem like NK did it. I use a bunch of random proxies, and I use a couple machines IN NK that I previously hacked into. ( adding time delays to all commands I send to these ) I do stuff through these machines a bunch, making sure to connect to them and setup all the seeming commands ahead of time, and I let it happen. -wham- "proof" that I'm from NK and am an idiot suddenly realizing I forgot to use the proxy.
I agree with the hackers. FBI are idiots. ( not the first time I've noticed they are idiots either; they also were very stupid when dealing with myself as a hacker imo )
