President Barack Obama said the U.S. will respond to North Korea’s cyber-assault on Sony Pictures Entertainment “in a place and time and manner that we choose,” adding that he thought the studio made a mistake by canceling the release of a movie linked to the attack.

In his first extensive public comments on a hacking attack the U.S. Justice Department today said was carried out by the North Korean government, Obama said companies shouldn’t be intimidated.
