An interesting twist on the communications from the perps of the #SonyHack : linguistic analysis. Excerpt: Based on the writing style, Argamon wanted to identify the most likely native language of the hackers. He considered four: Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Russian and German. And in his analysis, he dissected sentences like: One beside you can be our member. Meaning that anyone you meet might secretly be a member of the hackers group. Its a word-for-word translation from Russian — not from any of the other languages. And thats the pattern that led him to a finding he describes as significant: The hackers used phrasing most consistent with the Russian language. There was some consistency with Korean, but much, much less, Argamon says. Which indicates that although its possible that these messages were written by people whose native language is Korean, it is far more likely that they were Russians. npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2014/12/26/373303733/doubts-persist-on-u-s-claims-on-north-korean-role-in-sony-hack
