Operators of movie theaters are on edge after the group that hacked Sony last month purportedly theater to unleash violence at upcoming screenings of “The Interview.”
But Homeland Security said Tuesday that it’s unaware of any plot to attack movie theaters, Fortune reports.
The hacking group left reporters a note, warning of potential attack against any cinema that screens “The Interview,” a Sony comedy about an assassination plot against North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
“We are still analyzing the credibility of these statements, but at this time there is no credible intelligence to indicate an active plot against movie theaters within the United States,” the DHS official said in a statement. “As always, DHS will continue to adjust our security posture, as appropriate, to protect the American people.”
The letter warns, “Remember the 11th of September 2011” and threats a “bitter fate” for any cinema that shows the film.
