The FBI has confirmed that it is investigating. It has also warned other US businesses that unknown hackers have launched a cyber-attack with destructive malware. Sony is investigating after its computers were attacked and unreleased films made available on the internet.
When asked if it was involved in the attack a spokesman for the North Korean government replied: "Wait and see."
In June, North Korea complained to the United Nations and the US over the comedy film The Interview.
In the movie, Seth Rogen and James Franco play two reporters who are granted an audience with Kim Jong-un. The CIA then enlists the pair to assassinate him.
North Korea described the film as an act of war and an "undisguised sponsoring of terrorism", and called on the US and the UN to block it.
California-based Sony Pictures' computer system went down last week and hackers then published a number of as-yet unreleased films on online download sites.
