North Korea said it will work with the U.S. in a joint investigation into the cyber-attacks on Sony Pictures - and the nation has warned the U.S. that if it does not accept a joint investigation, there will be "grave consequences."
The North Korean foreign ministry continues to deny involvement in the Sony hacking scandal, according to the BBC.
The ministry said the allegations are groundless and the joint probe would prove the country's innocence.
On Friday, the FBI said the Pyongyang government led the cyber-attack against Sony last month.
The FBI said it found technical software used in the attack similar to malware North Koreans have developed, according to The Huffington Post.
Furthermore, the FBI said this technology has formerly been linked to other "malicious cyber activity" tied to the North Korean government.
President Barack Obama said the U.S. will respond to the North Korean attacks in a manner the U.S. deems acceptable, according to the BBC.
Sony has pulled "The Interview" from theaters but will look into releasing it on a different platform.
"It is still our hope that anyone who wants to see this movie will get the opportunity to do so," Sony said in a statement.
Originally set to release on Christmas Day, Sony decided to pull the film because the majority of U.S. theater owners chose not to screen it.
"The Interview," featuring James Franco and Seth Rogen, is a comedy about the fictional assassination of the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
