FBI Investigates Hacking of Computers at Sony Pictures
The FBI has joined the investigation of the cyber attack that crippled computers at Sony Pictures and led to the theft of some new movies.
“The FBI is working with our interagency partners to investigate the recently reported cyber intrusion at Sony Pictures Entertainment,” the bureau said yesterday in an e-mailed statement.
Sony Pictures, based in Culver City, California, is also investigating, including the possibility the breach may involve North Korea, a person with knowledge of the matter said last week. The studio was looking into whether the attack coincides with the release of “The Interview,” a comedy about a CIA plot to kill North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, the person said.
