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.
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.
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.
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.
