North Korea Denies Hacking Sony Pictures

Date:

North Korea has furiously denied that they were involved in the Sony Pictures attack and claims that it will prove it is not responsible.

According to reports, North Korea’s foreign ministry denied North Korea’s involvement in the hack that crippled Sony and forced the company to cancel screenings for ‘The Interview’.

The FBI said that it was North Korea that orchestrated the attack, and it had been similar to one on South Korean banks in the past.

The United States on Friday vowed to respond to the attack and consulted allies including Japan, South Korea and China over the incident.

President Obama spoke about the recent situation and said that Sony’s decision to remove the film at theaters was “a mistake.” Shortly thereafter, Sony’s CEO fired back in defense of the decision, saying why Sony had to cancel the release was due to the movie theater’s being reluctant to play the film.

North Korea is now asking the US government to hold a joint investigation into the attack.
