Passage Three: Questions 44-50North Korea denies Sony hack but warns U.S.: Worse is comingThe U.S. government has been accused by North Korea of being behind the making of the movie "The Interview." And. on stale media, the totalitarian regime seriously warned the US government that its "citadels" is going to be attacked, dwarfing the hacking attack on Sony that led to the cancellation of the film's release.North Korea has already launched its severe counteraction. Nothing is more serious miscalculation than guessing that just a single movie production company is the target of the revenge. According to North Korea, its "toughest counteraction will be boldly taken against the White House, the Pentagon and the whole U.S. mainland, the cesspool of terrorism," the report said, adding that "fighters for justice" including the "Guardians of Peace" — a group that claimed responsibility for the Sony attack — "are sharpening bayonets not only in the U.S. mainland but in all other parts of the world."The FBI pinned blame on North Korea for a hack into Sony's computer systems. "It is an act of cybervandalism”，said Obama in an interview broadcast Sunday on CNN. He said that the U.S. is going to reconsider whether to put North Korea back on a list of states that sponsor terrorism. "We've got very clear criteria as to what it means for a state to sponsor terrorism. And we don't make those judgments just based on the news of the day," Obama further explained.The Republican National Committee urged cinema chains to show the movie. In a letter to their CEOs，the chairman mentioned: "As a sign of my commitment, if you agree to show this movie, I will send a note to the Republican Party's millions of donors and supporters urging them to buy a ticket — not to support one movie or Hollywood, but to show North Korea we cannot be_intogiving up our freedom." While the film was the work of private individuals,North Korea insisted otherwise in its statement. "The DPRK has clear proof that the U.S. administration was intimately intertwined with the making of such dishonest reactionary movie," it said.In a CNN interview on Friday, Sony Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton said the studio had not "given in” to any pressure from hackers and was still thinking ways for the distribution of the movie. But that's not exactly what the company initially said after canceling the film's release. On Wednesday night, a studio spokesperson said simply, "Sony Pictures has no further release plans for the movie." But in its latest official statement, released Sunday, the company said: "No decisions have been made so far. Sony is still exploring options to distribute the film."
