Personally, I think there are three possibilities.
1. This is all virally manufactured. Previously informed parties over specific remarks, fake social security numbers.
2. This was done by a previous Sony Pictures employee. Possibly a database admin who was fired.
3. This is an outside group that just happened to stumble upon these vulnerablities, and are pretending to be NK for lulz.
According to some security expert, the hack was done with knowledge of Sony's internal architecture (Something I myself said was the most likely scenario over a week ago). So this more than likely originated within Sony. The question is who and why.
The answer to many problems is usually to simply 'follow the money'.
Out of everything I haven't seen any legitimate reports of people losing identities. I've seen some "scandolous emails", and some movies were leaked...but I can't say for sure whether anyone has actually been damaged in this.
