The FBI is investigating threatening emails sent to employees of Sony
Pictures, which was hit by a disruptive cyberattack last week.
The FBI's statement today doesn't provide details.
However, Variety says a group that first hacked Sony on November 24
is taking credit for an email, written in broken English, that demands
employees object to "the false of the company."
"If you don't," the message warns, "not only you but your family will be in danger."
Messages to Sony representatives weren't immediately returned.
Cyberattacks have put unreleased movies and personal employee information online.
There has been speculation that the attack was North Korean
retaliation for Sony's new movie, "The Interview," about an attempt to
assassinate that country's leader, Kim Jong Un.
On Thursday, North Korea denied involvement.
