North Korea's government on Sunday denied hacking Sony Pictures as retaliation to the Hollywood studio's forthcoming film "The Interview," a comedy about a plot to assassinate the country's leader.

"We do not know where in America the Sony Pictures is situated and for what wrongdoings it became the target of the attack," a spokesman for the National Defense Commission was quoted saying to the country's official Korean Central News Agency.

An analysis of 33,000 leaked Sony Pictures documents by data security software firm Identity Finder showed that the leaked files included the personal information, salaries and home addresses for employees and freelancers who worked at the studio. Some celebrities' information was released, too, including data about actor Sylvester Stallone, director Judd Apatow and Australian actress Rebel Wilson
