Sony Pictures Entertainment, who recently suffered a cyber attack on their computer network, are, according to a report by technology news site Re/code, investigating if hackers working on behalf of North Korea might be responsible.<br/> <br />It's reported they believe that the cyber attack was in conjunction with the release of 'The Interview' - a comedy about two journalists who are recruited by the CIA to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.<br/> <br />In June, the Pyongyang government denounced the film as an "undisguised sponsoring of terrorism, as well as an act of war" in a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.<br/> <br />KCNA, the official news agency in isolationist North Korea, quoted a Foreign Ministry spokesman in June as promising a "merciless counter-measure" if the film is released. However, 'The Interview' is still scheduled to be released on December 25th in the United States.
