According to BBC Asia, the United States has been infiltrating North Korea's network since 2010. Although North Korea denies the Sony incident, software installed alerted U.S intelligence that they were in fact involved in hacking.
It gets interesting, because the NSA did not inform Sony of a potential attack, citing "security reasons".
In terms of national security, the Sony attack was insignificant; North Korea attacked a Japanese company, because Americans made a movie about killing their "Supreme Leader".
Security experts insist that the USA has been trying to breach North Korea's internet long before 2010, and perhaps DDoS attacks will ensue.
