US President Barack Obama has said in a TV interview set for broadcast later today that he did not consider the cyber attack on Sony Corp - which has been blamed on North Korea - to be an act of war, but rather cyber vandalism.
Mr Obama and his advisers are weighing up how to respond in kind to the attack, which prompted Sony to withdraw a comedy movie, 'The Interview' that had been prepared for release to movie theatres over the Christmas period.
"No, I don't think it was an act of war. I think it was an act of cyber vandalism that was very costly, very expensive. We take it very seriously. We will respond proportionately," Mr Obama told CNN's "State of the Union with Candy Crowley" show.
The president also said his government was considering putting North Korea back on a US list of countries that sponsor terrorism.
During the interview Mr Obama also vowed to "do everything I can" to close the US military prison at Guantanamo Bay and stated separately that Russian President Vladimir Putin is presiding over the collapse of the Russian currency, a financial crisis and a huge economic contraction.
