Sony Corp Chief Executive Officer Kazuo Hirai on Monday praised employees and partners of the company's Hollywood movie studio for standing up to "extortionist efforts" of hackers, who attacked Sony Pictures Entertainment in November.

Current and former employees of the studio were "the victims of one of the most vicious and malicious cyberattacks we have known in recent history," Mr. Hirai said.

"I'm very proud of all the employees, and the partners we have worked," he said.
