Summary The breach disrupted the movie studio's computer system and spewed employees’ personal information.
WASHINGTON (AP) - FBI Director James Comey says U.S. investigators haven t yet determined who was responsible for a massive cyberattack on Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Comey told reporters Tuesday that "we re not at that point yet" to assign responsibility. The breach disrupted the movie studio s computer system and spewed online personal information about Sony employees.
Comey said before investigators determine who is behind a breach, they like "to sort the evidence in a very careful way to arrive at a level of confidence."
Some have speculated that North Korea was behind the attacks in retaliation for the upcoming movie "The Interview." It s a comedy starring Seth Rogen and James Franco and which depicts an assassination attempt on that country s leader, Kim Jong Un (kim jawng oon).
North Korea recently released a statement denying responsibility, but also harshly condemning the movie.
