More importantly, who else could the USG blame? China are somewhat too important a "partner". Venezuela, well Chavez "happened to die". Cuba, friends again. Iran, bringing them slowly in from the cold. Russia, well...
It would have been more convenient for the USG to blame ISIS but nobody would believe that.
I still don't buy the N.Korea angle. They would just love the propaganda. They are quite happy to provoke the US with missile tests publicly, you don't think a hack like this they are going to want to keep quiet?

Doesn't make sense to me.
