US urges North Korea to compensate Sony for cyber attack

The United States urged North Korea on Monday (Dec 22) to admit it ordered a cyber attack on the Hollywood studio Sony Pictures and to pay for the damage it had caused.

"If they want to help here they could admit their culpability and compensate Sony for the damages that they caused," deputy State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf told reporters.

Washington accuses Pyongyang of being behind the hack that led to the release of embarrassing company emails and caused Sony executives to halt the debut of the comedy action film "The Interview."
