North Korea Supports Sony “Extra-Large Hacking”

North Korea’s chief state news agency, KCNA, has denied allegations that North Korea attacked Sony Pictures but instead declared their support for the hack.

In very poor English, they said that “the south Korean puppet authorities spread a wild rumor” that North Korea was linked to the “recent extra-large hacking”. They added that they do not know “for what wrongdoings it became the target of the attack” but that they know “SONY Pictures is the very one which was going to produce a film abetting a terrorist act”.

They made efforts to suggest that “supporters” of North Korea may be those behind the hack – “the hacking into the SONY Pictures might be a righteous deed of the supporters and sympathizers with the DPRK”.

See the full statement bellow –

“The SONY Pictures, a film producer in the U.S., has reportedly been attacked by hackers.

The hacking is so fatal that all the systems of the company have been paralyzed, causing the overall suspension of the work and supposedly a huge ensuing loss.

Much upset by this, the U.S. mobilized many investigation bodies including FBI, CIA and the Department of Homeland Security for urgent investigation and recovery of the system.

We do not know where in America the SONY Pictures is situated and for what wrongdoings it became the target of the attack nor we feel the need to know about it.

But what we clearly know is that the SONY Pictures is the very one which was going to produce a film abetting a terrorist act while hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK by taking advantage of the hostile policy of the U.S. administration towards the DPRK.

We already called upon the world to turn out in the just struggle to put an end to U.S. imperialism, the chieftain of aggression and the worst human rights abuser that tramples down the universal rights of people to peaceful and stable life and violates the sovereignty of other countries, as well as its followers.

The hacking into the SONY Pictures might be a righteous deed of the supporters and sympathizers with the DPRK in response to its appeal.”
