The U.S. State Department declined to “speculate” about a reported Internet outage in North Korea after the U.S. promised a “proportionate response” to a hack of Sony Pictures Entertainment linked to the isolated nation, NBC News reports.
Said spokeswoman Marie Harf: “I don’t have anything new to share with you today about North Korea. The president has spoken to what our potential responses – separate and apart from what we’ve seen over the past 24 hours – might be. And I’d leave it to North Korea to talk about if their internet was up or if it wasn’t, and why.”
