Sony Hackers: "Give us the Wolf"

The Intercept reports:

The hackers who infiltrated Sony Pictures Entertainment’s computer servers have threatened to attack an American news media organization, according to an FBI bulletin obtained by The Intercept.

The threat against the unnamed news organization by the Guardians of Peace, the hacker group that has claimed credit for the Sony attack, “may extend to other such organizations in the near future,” according to a Joint Intelligence Bulletin of the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security obtained by The Intercept.

Referring to Sony only as “USPER1”and the news organization as “USPER2,” the Joint Intelligence Bulletin, dated Dec. 24 and marked For Official Use Only, states that its purpose is “to provide information on the late-November 2014 cyber intrusion targeting USPER1 and related threats concerning the planned release of the movie, ‘The Interview.’ Additionally, these threats have extended to USPER2 —a news media organization—and may extend to other such organizations in the near future.”

In the bulletin, titled “November 2014 Cyber Intrusion on USPER1 and Related Threats,” The Guardians of Peace threatened to attack other targets on the day after the FBI announcement. “On 20 December,” the bulletin reads, “the [Guardians of Peace] GOP posted Pastebin messages that specifically taunted the FBI and USPER2 for the ‘quality’ of their investigations and implied an additional threat. No specific consequence was mentioned in the posting.”

NyPo reports:

“USPER1″ is Sony but “USPER2″ has not been named — but previous messages posted by the hackers suggest that the anonymous media organization is in fact CNN, The Desk journalist Matthew Keys reports.

While reviewing copies of a series of Pastebin messages from Dec. 20, it was uncovered that the Guardians of Peace had mocked CNN by praising the network for its “investigation” into the Sony attacks.

"The result of investigation by CNN is so excellent that you might have seen what we were doing with your own eyes,” the group wrote.

“We congratulate you success. CNN is the BEST in the world.”

“You will find the gift for CNN at the following address,” they added — posting a YouTube link underneath.

“P.S. You have 24 hours to give us the Wolf.”
