(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency) North Korea's hacking attack on Sony Pictures was
an act of cyber-vandalism that may prompt the United States to add
the Asian country to its list of states that sponsor terrorism, US
President Barack Obama has said, dpa reported.
In an interview recorded on Friday and broadcast on Sunday on CNN's
'State of the Union' programme, Obama said the United States would
respond 'proportionately' to the attack, which the Federal Bureau of
Investigation has blamed on North Korea.
The attack prompted the studio to cancel its release of The
Interview, a comedy about the assassination of North Korean leader
Kim Jong Un.
