Executives from the Sony Pictures Corporation and industry insiders are becoming increasingly vocal about their belief that the recent massive hacking scandal at the company was an inside job.

The cyber attack is being called the most devastating attack of its kind ever on a U.S. company. Thousands of sensitive confidential e-mails and documents were stolen and posted on the Internet, and some embarrassing revelations were revealed in private correspondence, as well as details about Sony company inner workings and new movie projects.

Many have pointed the accusatory finger at North Korea, speculating that the attack was in retaliation for a movie about to be released called The Interview, which lampoons North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong-Un,, and depicts an assassination attempt on him. However, there is no hard evidence that North Korea was involved.

The attacks appear to have perpetrated by someone with an intimate knowledge of the IT systems at Sony, and many are starting to suspect that the guilty party is someone affected by the large layoffs at the company last year, which included many IT employees.

New revelations continue to surface, and the hackers, a group calling themselves the Guardians of Peace, have been in contact with Sony, leaving death threats against some executives and their families.
