Sony Entertainment release 'The Interview" despite North Korea threats

Sony Pictures Entertainment has gone ahead to release The Interview, a fictional movie about a plot to assassinate North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un. The American movie company has been in the middle of a controversy between the United States and North Korea after the FBI alleged that a cyber attack on the company was carried out by Pyongyang. North Korea denied the allegation but praised the attack as a 'just act'.

US considers placing North Korea back on terror blacklist

The Government of the United States is currently considering placing North Korea back on the list of state sponsors of terrorism. This is coming days after Pyongyang allegedly masterminded the colossal computer hacking on Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Although President Obama has said he does not consider the cyber attack an act of war, he has promised to “respond proportionally” to it. The US President noted that "We cannot have a society in which some dictator someplace can start imposing censorship here in the United States."
