MISSED IT: Sony hack by North Korea temporarily shuts down "The Interview": NSA agents confirmed that North Korea was behind the Sony Hack, a cyber attack in late November that released sensitive information on Sony employees and upcoming movies.

Because of the attack, Sony temporarily pulled "The Interview" before releasing it online amid outcry from government officials, the public and Hollywood. Unrest in France: France experienced three days of terror, then grief, after gunmen Said and Cherif Kouachi attacked the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo — a satirical newspaper known for its inflammatory content — in Paris. 12 people, including editors, cartoonists and security personnel, were killed. Police tracked down and killed the brothers three days later. A separate gunman stormed a Paris kosher grocery store the same day the Kouachi brothers died, killing four hostages before he was killed by police.
