Hackers invoked the 9/11 attacks in their most chilling threat yet against Sony Pictures, warning cinema-goers not to see a film which has angered North Korea. The threat -- which was downplayed by US authorities -- came as lawyers filed a class action suit against the embattled studio, claiming it had failed to protect employees' data, stolen in a massive cyber-attack three weeks ago. In a new statement cited by US media, the so-called GOP (Guardians of Peace) hacking group announced the start of a "Christmas gift," including leaked emails from Sony boss Michael Lynton. Specifically, it warned movie-goers against seeing "The Interview," the Sony comedy starring James Franco and Seth Rogen about a fictional CIA plot to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un.
