A North Korea's deputy U.N. ambassador An Myong Hun, on Tuesday emphatically denied his country's involvement in the massive computer hack at Sony;
This is what he said "My country has nothing to do with the Sony hacking, it is out of sense to do that, and we want United States to provide evidence.
Meanwhile, United States hit North Korea with new sanctions this month after the FBI director has expressed his very high confidence that North Korea was behind the hacking.
At a briefing on the subject, Rep. Ed Royce, a California Republican and chairman of the House Foreign Relations Committee, called to "cut off hard currency" so North Korea cannot carry out offensive attacks like the cyber attacks.
The White House targeted leaders in North Korea's government, preventing them from accessing property and entering the United States.
The U.S. Department of Treasury has designated the Reconnaissance General Bureau, the Korea Mining Development Trading Corporation and Korean Tangun Trading Corporation and 10 officials based around the world as "critical North Korean operatives." The aim of the sanctions is to isolate North Korea and cut off their entities from being able to use the international financial system, said Daniel Glaser, assistant secretary of the Department of Treasury, during a briefing about the hacking on Tuesday.
