North Korea released a statement earlier today, blaming the U.S. for internet outage in the country, which took place shortly after the U.S. said North Korea was responsible for the recent cyber attack on Sony Pictures over #SethRogen and #JamesFranco’s new movie #TheInterview, which shows the assassination of the country's leader Kim Jong-Un.
In the statement on Saturday, a spokesperson for Policy Department of the National Defense Commission, the country's top governing body led by #KimJongUn, said:
"The U.S., a big country, started disturbing the Internet operation of major media of the DPRK, not knowing shame like children playing a tag. Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds like a monkey in a tropical forest."
NK threatened to retaliate for the internet blackout, though it did not specify what it would do. #TheWhiteHouse has not responded. Earlier this month, NK denied involvement in the cyber attack and said that the U.S. was behind the making of the controversial movie. They said:
"The DPRK has clear evidence that the U.S. administration was deeply involved in the making of such dishonest reactionary movie," according to CNN.
Sony initially canceled the movie's #ChristmasDay release date after hackers threatened a 9/11 style attack on theaters but the firm later back-flipped and released it in select theaters. It's also available on YouTube, Microsoft's Xbox Video, Google Play, and Sony's official website.
