Hackers demand Sony pulls plug on 'The Interview'

The group claiming responsibility for the Sony Pictures hack has denied it threatened Sony employees and demanded the studio halt the release of a movie that makes light of an assassination attempt on the leader of North Korea.

The message was posted on the Github website and claims to be from the the Guardians of Peace, a previously unknown hacker group that claimed responsibility for the attacked on Sony Pictures more than two weeks ago

It says the group has no knowledge of threats against Sony Pictures employees and their families, which were emailed to some employees on Friday. “We know nothing about the threatening email received by Sony staffers,” the message says, then goes on to demand that Sony halts release of a “movie of terrorism” that will “break the regional peace and cause the War.”
