Pyongyang proposed to do research with Washington and demanded stop “baseless slander”

<. p> The government of North Korea demanded on Saturday (20/12/2014) investigation together with the United States to determine who was behind the attack on the Sony computer company. Washington said the attack was the work of Pyongyang, calling the allegations as “baseless slander”. Nevertheless, US officials reiterated their suspicions after meeting the requirements of the Kim Jong Un.

On Friday, Barack Obama blamed Pyongyang for the attack, which led to the cancellation of the premiere of the film “The interview “, whose comic plot revolves around the murder of the North Korean leader. The Juche government declared, through a spokesman, who proposes to “conduct a joint investigation with the US in response to baseless slander discharged from there to mobilize public opinion.”

The same spokesperson He added that “if the US rejects our proposal for joint research and continues to speak out to bring some kind of inmiscuyéndonos answer here, I must warn you that there will be serious consequences.” In addition, the North Korean authorities said that “we have a way to prove that we have nothing to do with the case,” without elaborating.

Compensate Sony

The FBI previously said that malicious software was used (“malware”) on the Sony cyber attack he suffered last November previously employed by North Korean hackers and infrastructure used coincided with other “malicious cyber activities” related to North Korea. Obama, meanwhile, threatened to have an answer “proportional, in the place, time and manner we choose.”

Last Wednesday hackers threatened viewers with terrorist attacks during the screenings of ” The Interview “, which was to be released on December 25 in the United States. Because most of the distributors had chosen not to project the film, Sony canceled the premiere. The attack involved the theft of movies and other valuable data of the company and its employees, who after his abduction were overturned on the internet.

North Korea, meanwhile, reported that if the government decides to take “retaliation” will be against “those responsible for the hostile attack” against Pyongyang, not “a terrorist act against innocent public cinemas”. Despite the statement, USA maintained their allegations. The spokesman for the National Security Council, Mark Stroh, told EFE that “if the North Korean government wants to help, has to admit his guilt and Sony compensate for the damage caused.”
