People seem to have been talking about that Seth Rogen movie coming out (The Interview), produced by Sony, which is pretty mocking about North Korea, at least if you just watch the trailer.
This seems pretty flimsy, but it kind of fits with the cartoon dictator-esque image we have of North Korea's leadership.
I agree that it's in line with what we would expect from North Korea, but I don't think that having a motive is itself evidence of the crime.
They haven't even admitted to it, they've instead made a statement of "maybe" that I would expect from an elementary school child. To me, that smells like they want us to think it might have been them but don't want to look stupid (weak?) if someone else claims attribution for the hack after-the-fact.

I'm skeptical anytime someone tries to attribute an attack to someone else without detailed explanation of why they believe that.
