Hackers tell Sony wise to cancel film, don't make more trouble: Report

"It's very wise that you have made a decision to cancel the release of 'The Interview,'" the message said, according to CNN. "We ensure the security of your data unless you make additional trouble."

Washington tries to tackle hackers behind Sony attack

Washington made the woes of cyberattack victim Sony Pictures its own on Thursday as the White House acknowledged that the devastating strike against the big Hollywood studio was a matter of national security that would be met by a forceful government response.

But the White House was not ready to put the blame on North Korea, despite a U.S. official's indication on Wednesday that Washington may soon formally announce the involvement of the Pyongyang government.
             
President Barack Obama was monitoring the cyberattack very closely, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. But even as the White House studied a "proportional response," experts warned that the effect of strategies like cyber retaliation or financial sanctions could be limited.
             
The attack more than three weeks ago by hackers identifying themselves as "Guardians of Peace" is the biggest hacking of a company on U.S. soil and might be repeated with other companies.
