The US has demanded compensation from North Korea over its alleged cyberattack on the Sony Pictures Entertainment company amid growing tensions between the two countries.

US State Department deputy spokesperson Marie Harf said on Monday that Pyongyang must compensate for the damages it caused by hacking the Culver City, California-based company in November.

“As the FBI and the [US] president and everyone has now made clear, we are confident that the North Korean government is responsible for this destructive attack. We stand by this conclusion,” Harf said.

“The government of North Korea has a long history of denying its destructive and provocative actions and if they want to help here they can admit their culpability and compensate Sony for the damage, damages that they caused,” she added.

President Barack Obama has promised to respond proportionately to the hacking, which reportedly exposed Hollywood secrets, destroyed Sony company data and revealed personal information about its employees.

The FBI said in a statement on Friday that it had “enough information” to conclude that Pyongyang is responsible for the attacks, which took place on November 24 and discovered by Sony on December 1.

US officials say Pyongyang targeted Sony Pictures to halt the planned release of the studio’s recent movie, “The Interview,” which depicts the fictional assassination of North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un.
