threatening ultimatums to Sony Pictures , demanding that the first screening of the film The Interview, scheduled for Christmas Day, be canceled.
The film, which is a comedy, has as its scenario a fictional assassination of North Korean Kim Jong Un. Thus, they threaten that peace in the region is endangered and war is risked if the film is released in cinemas. The North Korean regime denies any connection with the hackers. In fact, it is the first time that North Korea denies such an attack as it has the means and technology to achieve it.
In June, the Pyongyang government sent a letter to the UN condemning the film as “blatant support for terrorism and an act of war.” The same day, the official North Korean news agency KCNA quoted a foreign ministry spokesman as threatening the US with “merciless retaliation.”.
