Sony Pictures halt production post hack of computer network

Washington: Sony Pictures has reportedly halted it production activities in the wake of the breach of its computer network by a group of hackers.

According to FOX News, The Times, quoting "a source," said agencies filming for Sony had cancelled shoots because the hacking had left it unable to process payments.

At least four films and thousands of documents were leaked after the attack on Sony last month.

The group called the " Guardians of Peace," earlier, sent threatening emails to Sony employees post the attack.

The incident is being investigated by the FBI. The agency also sent out an " FBI alert" to companies in the entertainment sector, describing the characteristics of the so-called "wiper malware" used in the attack, the report said.
