On January 9, 2015 Rep Ted Poe of Texas put in “extension of remarks ” into the Congressional Record relating to North Korea and the Sony Hack:

“On November 24th, Sony Pictures Entertainment was attacked. No its headquarters were not bombed, nor did anyone storm the buildings. This was a cyber attack.

It is believed to be the worst of its type on a company on U.S. soil. Hackers released personal data of Sony employees, disabled Sony’s IT systems, and destroyed data.

Shortly after, anonymous emails threatened movie-goers hoping to see the Sony film, “The Interview”. These threats warned about “9/11-style” terrorist attacks.

A little over a month later, on December 29, the FBI said North Korea was responsible for the cyber attack. Contrary to what the President has called “cyber vandalism”, this cyber terrorism deserves a bold, immediate response.

The world’s dictators and terrorists must know without a doubt that an attack–cyber or physical–on the U.S. will result in a devastating response.

This starts with the little dictator of Pyongyang, Kim Jong-Un.

It needs to immediately put North Korea back on the State Sponsors of Terrorism list. Representative Ros-Lehtinen has a bill that puts tough sanctions on North Korea and urges the Administration to put North Korea back on the list.

I am an original cosponsor of the bill.”
