“[Seoul] will seek to ensure safety in cyberspace through international cooperation, including sharing information on the cyber-attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment with the US government,” the statement published on South Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs website read.
On Friday, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said that North Korea had been behind November's cyber-attack on Sony Pictures. The attack forced the company to cancel the premiere of a comedy about the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) plotting with journalists to kill North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un.
North Korea denied involvement in the attack but applauded the “righteous deed” of Pyongyang supporters and sympathizers, according to the Korean Central News Agency.
