North Korea's network is witnessing a denial of service attack which may be US's counteraction to the Sony hack.
Charging the US government with inciting the making of the Sony movie, The Interview, North Korea declares that it will blow up US citadels, including the White House and Pentagon.
The government of North Korea has refuted the Federal Bureau of Investigation's finding that North Korea was behind the devastating hack of Sony Pictures Entertainment and has a proposed a joint US-North Korean investigation to determine who was responsible.
North Korea said the country is not responsible for the Sony Pictures hack but acknowledged that it "might be a righteous deed of the supporters and sympathizers." Involvement of North Korea is suspected in the attack because of an upcoming Sony film which is about an assassination attempt of Kim Jong-un.
Sony hackers released personal information, including social security numbers of Hollywood personalities on the internet.
Striking similarities have been found between the code used in the hack of Sony Pictures and the attacks blamed on North Korea that targeted South Korean companies and government agencies in 2013, according to The Financial Express.
North Korea may have sponsored last month's cyberattack against Sony as response to the latter's film 'Interview' that features an assassination plot of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un
