U.S. imposes sanctions on North Korea Friday Jan 02,2015

The United States imposed fresh sanctions on North Korea on Friday Jan 02,2015 in its first public act of retribution for a crippling cyberattack against Sony.

The stepped-up sanctions, authorized by executive order from President Barack Obama, will affect three North Korean entities, including a government intelligence agency and a North Korean arms dealer.

The U.S. is also sanctioning 10 individuals who work for those entities or the North Korean government, the Treasury Department said.
