WASHINGTON nike presto ultra flyknit uk , Dec. 22 (Xinhua) -- The United States on Monday insisted on blaming the Democratic People's Republic of Korea ( DPRK) for a cyber attack on the U.S.-based Sony Pictures Entertainment, demanding Pyongyang compensate for the damages caused.
"Well, as the FBI and the president and everyone who's now made clear we are confident the North Korean government is responsible for this destruction attack. We stand by this conclusion," said Marie Harf, deputy spokesperson of the U.S. State Department, at a news briefing.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) claimed Friday that it had "enough information" to conclude that the DPRK was responsible for hacking into Sony computers and posting online some of the stolen data in late November.
Sony last week canceled the planned Dec. 25 release of its comedy movie "The Interview www.nikeprestouksale.com ," which depicts a fictional assassination attempt against the DPRK leader Kim Jong Un, after major U.S. cinema chains decided not to show the movie as the hackers warned movie-goers to stay away from cinemas screening the film.
While speaking at his end-of-the-year news conference Friday, U. S. President Barack Obama said Sony made a mistake by canceling the release of the movie. He also said he wished the company had contacted him directly before taking the action, vowing to " respond proportionally" to the cyber attack.
The DPRK on Saturday flatly rejected the U.S. accusations and proposed a joint investigation with the United States. In response, Harf said that, if Pyongyang wants to help nike presto uk sale , "they can admit their culpability and compensate Sony for the damages that they caused."
"We do urge North Korea to exercise restraint, to refrain from further threatening actions at this time. Obviously, we talked about this a lot in the last few days, but that's what we're focused on right now," Harf said.
Harf declined to tell in detail about what the U.S. retaliatory measures will be in response to the cyber attack, reiterating that the U.S. would implement its responses. "Some will be seen cheap nike presto uk , some may not be seen," she said.

Already the biggest name in boxing that the rest of the world has never heard of, China's Zou Shiming on Sunday could transform himself into the wild card that makes or breaks the richest event in sports history: a bout worth $1 billion.
Yup, you read it right-one billion Yankee greenbacks.
For that scenario to become reality nike air presto uk , Zou (5-0, 1 KO) first has to defeat Thailand's No 1-ranked Kwanpichit Onesongchaigym (27-0-2, 12 KOs) in their International Boxing Federation flyweight title eliminator, with the winner guaranteed a shot at world champion Amnat Ruenroeng in 2015.
If Zou beats Onesongchaigym and World Boxing Organization welterweight champ Manny Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38 KOs) makes a successful defense against undefeated Chris Algieri (20-0, 8 KOs) in Sunday's main event at Cotai Arena in Macao nike presto uk , the stars will align for a long-awaited showdown between Pacquiao and unbeaten World Boxing Council champ Floyd Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOs) for the unified welterweight crown.
At this point it is all conjecture, but Zou's enormous popularity in China is the key to the mint. In terms of TV popularity the double Olympic gold medalist from Zunyi, Guizhou province, is the hottest property in the sport, with his fights drawing an average audience of about 350 million viewers nationwide.
As first reported by Britain's Daily Mail earlier this week Men's Nike Shox 807 Carbon Grey Black UK , the linchpin of the projected billion-dollar bout between Pacquiao and Mayweather is a plan by Top Rank promoter Bob Arum to make that fight-with Zou's title shot as the featured prelim-the first pay-per-view event televised in China ... at a substantially lower cost than for the rest of the planet.
"Zou is the driving force for taking pay-per-view to China; he's a national hero and hundreds of millions of his countrymen tune in every time he's on TV," Arum said earlier this year.
"Combine Zou's massive appeal with the drawing power of Pacquiao-Mayweather, and you're looking at numbers nobody ever dreamed possible. At $5 a buy, even if only 10 percent of the Chinese population signed up, that's around $650 million. It's staggering."
The Chinese PPV would most likely be delivered online or via smart phones. Arum could also bank on another $300 million from pay-per-view in North America, based on an average buy of about $95.
With worldwide PPV accounting for $950 million and additional revenue generated by the site fee in Macao or Las Vegas Women's Nike Shox OZ D Black Peach UK , live gate sponsorships and merchandising, the $1 billion plateau suddenly becomes very reachable.
The combatants, of course, would get a generous slice of that enormous pie. Even if Pacquiao acceded to Mayweather's oft-voiced demand for a 60-40 split of their purse, the Philippines congressman could expect to walk away with upwards of $120 million to the American's $140-$150 million. As for Zou, $20-30 million would not be out of the question.
None of it will happen if either Zou or Pacquiao comes up short on Sunday. There's big pressure on both men to not just win Nike Roshe Cortez NM SP Black White UK , but win big-and that's a much taller task for Zou, who will be fighting his first 12-rounder against a dangerous and far more experienced foe in Onesongchaigym. Both men are 33, but the unbeaten Thai has logged 165 pro rounds to Zou's 33.
"I started my professional career after the age of 30, a decision I am proud of and still feel lucky about," Zou said at a Shanghai media conference in October. "Right now I am just learning about professional boxing and the glories that are available ... and I want to inspire the new generation of boxers in China.
