The cyber-attack has been blamed on North Korea but North Korean officials have denied these accusations. However North Korea has declared previously that ‘The Interview’ will be seen as an act of terrorism.

The movie ‘The Interview’ is said to be released on Christmas and Sony has stated that the movie will be released on the due date. The comedy movie stars Seth Rogen and James Franco as TV journalists recruited by the CIA to assassinate Kim Jong-Un. 

The latest message by the hackers threatens Amy Pascal, head of the studio’s film business and Steve Mosko as the next targets. Due to this cyber-attack shares of Sony Corp. fell by 4 percent to 2486 yen.

The message by Sony’s CEO to the staff also mentioned that the senior executives will brief the employees directly about the investigation while the FBI staff will be present on December 10th to explain cyber security awareness to the employees.
