美國：朝鮮是索尼影業黑客事件主謀大綱

Media reports say the U.S. has determined North Korea is behind the hacking of Sony Pictures, which gave in to security concerns and canceled the release of a film about a fictional plot to assassinate Pyongyang's leader, Kim Jong Un.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, U.S. officials said investigators have connected North Korea to the cyberattack. The massive breach has resulted in the leak of tens of thousands of documents and has escalated to threats of terrorist attacks over the film "The Interview."

It is not clear how investigators made the determination or how the White House will respond. The National Security Council said the FBI is leading the investigation and will "provide an update at the appropriate time."

Earlier Wednesday, Sony said it is scrapping the December 25 release of "The Interview," after several major theater chains chose not to show the film. The statement said Sony shared the theaters' safety concerns. It has no current plans to release the film.

A hacker group calling itself Guardians of Peace on Tuesday released a statement promising a "bitter fate" to those who attend showings of "The Interview." In broken English, the brief statement invoked the September 11, 2001 attacks on the U.S. and warned people to "keep yourself distant" from theaters where the film is playing.據媒體報道，美國已經確定是朝鮮策劃了對索尼影業公司的網絡入侵。索尼影業星期三決定取消發行一部虛構謀殺朝鮮領導人金正恩情節的影片。

未透露姓名的美國官員說，調查人員發現朝鮮與這起黑客行動有關，這起行動導致數萬份文件泄露，並加劇了針對影片《採訪》的恐怖襲擊威脅。

目前還不清楚調查人員做出這一判斷的根據，也不清楚白宮將如何做出反應。美國國家安全委員會說，聯邦調查局領導進行這項調查，並將在適當時候提供進一步的信息。

索尼影業公司星期三早些時候表示，取消原定於12月25日的《採訪》首映式，此前幾家主要影院連鎖院線都決定不上映這部影片。索尼影業發表聲明說，該公司與這些影院有着同樣的安全方面的擔憂。索尼影業目前還沒有關於這部影片首映式的計劃。

一個自稱“和平衛士”黑客組織星期二發表聲明，威脅要讓觀看這部影片的人吃苦頭。這份簡短的聲明用蹩腳的英文提到911襲擊美國事件，並警告人們遠離放映這部片子的影院。
