For example, in the 2014 attack on SONY Pictures, the United States initially tried to avoid full disclosure of the means by which it attributed the attack to North Korea, and encountered widespread skepticism as a result. Within weeks, a press leak revealed that the US had access to North Korean networks.
比方说在2014年针对索尼影业的袭击事件中，美国最初试图避免公开用何种方法确定朝鲜为袭击的肇事者。外界因此普遍怀疑美国所得出的结果。几周内，一份媒体报道透露美国可以侵入朝鲜网络。外界的质疑声逐渐隐退，但却付出了公开敏感情报来源的代价。
