Shutting off an entire country isn't a simple hack.
But to the trigger event: the Sony hack happened weeks before any statement came from North Korea. Some security experts say the hack was independently done and then 'sold' to NK. So there's some question about whether the hack was an opportunistic independent operation or state-originated. Prior, South Korean banks were hacked using similar code, and that was believed to be state-originated by NK.
As for 'claiming credit,' well, we never officially claimed credit for Stuxnet.
