President Obama says Sony made a mistake in pulling a controversial movie after a massive cyber attack. During a White House news conference, the President said foreign powers must not be able to impose censorship on the U.S. He said the Sony corporation suffered significant damage in the hacking incident. The FBI says North Korea is to blame for the hacking.

The hackers threatened severe repercussions if Sony released the movie "The Interview." Sony pulled the film, which depicts an assassination plot against North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. President Obama also cited a strong need to boost cyber-security measures in the U.S.

The head of Sony Pictures Entertainment is defending his company's decision to cancel the release of the controversial film "The Interview." CEO Michael Lynton told CNN the entertainment giant did not cave in by nixing the Christmas day premiere of the movie, which depicts a plot to kill North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. He said Sony had no choice but to pull the comedy after theater chains said they would not show the film due to threats of violence from hackers. (Metro Network Inc.)
