Sony hack was angry employee and gang of hackers, experts believe


North Korea likely not involved, say experts and lawyers  

Andrew Griffin 

The Sony hack was probably carried out by a disgruntled ex-employee who may have joined with hackers to break into the company's networks, according to a new investigation by a cyber-security firm. 
          
An investigation has focused on a group of six people including the employee, said researchers from Norse Corporation. 
          
Because of the scale of the attack, it was likely carried out with the help of someone with detailed knowledge of the Sony systems, they said — a theory that has been advanced before. Investigators are probing whether an employee could have become disgruntled after redundancies in May and helped carry out the attack in revenge. 
          
Any employee was likely helped out by pro-privacy hacktivists, investigators said. Such groups have long focused their hacking efforts on Sony. 
          
Norse isn't working on the official investigation of the hack, but has brief the FBI, it said. 
          
The theory at least reduces the FBI's assertion that North Korea was involved in the attack, and Norse does not believe that the country had a role. 
          
"It has always been suspicious that it was North Korea," said former federal prosecutor Mark Rasch. "Not impossible – but doubtful… It made a lot more sense that it was insiders pretending to be North Korea." 
          
A number of security professionals have spoken out against the claim that North Korea was behind the attack, instead focusing on groups such as those described by Norse.

Questions 59 to 62 refer to the text below:
Recruiters eye Brics to build business
Brazil’s dream of shedding its middle-income status is over, some Bric observers have said. But to UK recruitment agencies, the South American powerhouse still offers something that is much harder to fi nd close to home – huge growth potential. Although Brazil’s gross domestic product is estimated to have notched up less than 1 per cent growth in 2012, UK recruitment groups are still opening offi ces there and expanding deeper into the region.
“You will get these hiccups along the way,” says Steve Ingham, chief executive of recruitment agency PageGroup (formerly Michael Page International). “The economy won’t always be as strong, but we will continue to invest through the cycle such that our endgame is to have a lot more offi ces and a lot more people in [Latin America].”
His company was one of the fi rst big UK recruiters to enter the region, about 13 years ago. There are now more than a dozen offi ces and about 600 staff in Latin America operating under PageGroup. Almost 10 per cent of PageGroup’s business is generated in the region but Mr Ingham “easily imagines” that rising to a fifth in the near future. “Our expectations are enormous,” he says, highlighting the potential beyond Brazil, in countries such as Mexico and Chile. “We’re not just depending on Brazil [to generate fees] any more.”
Other recruiters have followed suit, as part of their expansion away from the saturated UK market to fastergrowing economies in Asia and beyond.  Hays recently opened offi ces in Colombia and Chile, and Brazil is already the sixth-largest country in the group, based on net fees.

Questions 63 to 66 refer to the following text:
Where to be born in 2013
Warren Buffett, probably the world’s most successful investor, has said that anything good that happened to him could be traced back to the fact that he was born in the right country, the United States, at the right time (1930). A quarter of a century ago, when The World in 1988 lightheartedly ranked 50 countries according to where would be the best place to be born in 1988, America indeed came top. But which country will be the best for a baby born in 2013?

To answer this, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), a sister company of The Economist, has this time turned deadly serious. It earnestly attempts to measure which country will provide the best opportunities for a healthy, safe and prosperous life in the years ahead. Its qualityof-life index links the results of subjective life-satisfaction surveys—how happy people say they are—to objective determinants of the quality of life across countries. Being rich helps more than anything else, but it is not all that counts; things like crime, trust in public institutions and the health of family life matter too. In all, the index takes 11 statistically signifi cant indicators into account.

What does all this, and likely developments in the years to come, mean for where a baby might be luckiest to be born in 2013? After crunching its numbers, the EIU has Switzerland comfortably in the top spot, with Australia second. Small economies dominate the top ten. Half of these are European, but only one, the Netherlands, is from the euro zone. The Nordic countries shine, whereas the crisis-ridden south of Europe (Greece, Portugal and Spain) lags behind despite the advantage of a favourable climate. The largest European economies (Germany, France and Britain) do not do particularly well.

America, where babies will inherit the large debts of the boomer generation, languishes back in 16th place. Despite their economic dynamism, none of the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) scores impressively. Among the 80 countries covered, Nigeria comes last: it is the worst place for a baby to enter the world in 2013.

(c) was impressively high.
(d) has improved over time.

Questions 67 and 68 are about the following text:
In the World Economy, the Ditch Is Never Far Away
WHEN you see a car being driven firmly within its lane and well under the speed limit, there’s nothing to worry about. Or is there? If you’re David A. Rosenberg, the glass-halfempty economist, there most certainly is. He says the world economy is like that car. And where others see stability and recovery, he sees “a car being driven by a drunk, lurching from side to side on the road, narrowly avoiding the ditches each time.”
 

At this particular moment, he says, the car happens to be in the middle of the road. But he can’t help but ask, “Is that because the driver has sobered up, or is it because the car is just passing through the middle on its way to the ditch on the other side?” Mr. Rosenberg isn’t certain of the answer. But despite the cheer pervading the stock market and the relatively upbeat perspective of most economists, he says he isn’t convinced that the car will remain safely out of those ditches.
 

Formerly the chief North American economist at Merrill Lynch, and now proudly back in his native Canada as chief economist and strategist at Gluskin Sheff in Toronto, Mr. Rosenberg writes a market newsletter that is always provocative, often cantankerous and frequently out of step with the Wall Street consensus. “I’d say I’m as pragmatic as possible and not locked into one position,” he says, “but I do understand that I have a much better record forecasting rain than in predicting the return of sunshine.”

👉Questão 67:
In the passage, economist David Rosenberg is portrayed as
(a) a realist.
(b) an optimist.
(c) a pragmatist.
(d) a pessimist.

(e) an escapist.
Gabarito (d).
👉Questão 68:
The sentence that best sums up the main idea in the passage is:
(a) it is easier to forecast rain than sunshine.
(b) it’s best to see a glass half-empty.
(c) the world economy’s recovery is not certain.
(d) economic stability is never long lasting.
(e) economists can be likened to drunken drivers.

Gabarito (c).
