WikiLeaks Puts More Than 30,000 Hacked Sony Documents Online

WikiLeaks has made more than 30,000 documents from last year's Sony Pictures hack available to the public. The documents were put online in a searchable database on Thursday, which WikiLeaks says includes more than 173,132 emails from 2,200 Sony Pictures email addresses. "This archive shows the inner workings of an influential multinational corporation," Julian Assange, editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks, wrote in a statement. "It is newsworthy and at the centre of a geo-political conflict. It belongs in the public domain. WikiLeaks will ensure it stays there."

A Sony Pictures spokesperson said in a statement that it strongly condemned the actions of WikiLeaks. "The attackers used the dissemination of stolen information to try to harm SPE and its employees, and now WikiLeaks regrettably is assisting them in that effort," the company wrote. "We vehemently disagree with WikiLeaks' assertion that this material belongs in the public domain and will continue to fight for the safety, security, and privacy of our company and its more than 6,000 employees."

Last December, a group calling itself "Guardians of Peace" (GOP) hacked Sony Pictures, revealing private emails, more than 47,000 Social Security numbers and several unreleased films. The U.S. government eventually blamed North Korea for the hack.

In a press release, WikiLeaks said the documents it put online revealed details of, among other things, Sony's extensive lobbying efforts with the Motion Picture Association of America and Sony employee donations to the Democratic Party.

“This archive shows the inner workings of an influential multinational corporation,” “It belongs in the public domain.”

What a nonsensical statement. is this Assange guy some kind of mental case?

Have the pukes at wiki leaks every leaked any Putin material? Or sensitive USSR material. As far as I know, not! The hackers would be hunted down and get a bullet in the head.

Nope! All they leak is anti USA stuff. Funny, isn’t it? Are there any protests concerning North Korea or Iran getting nuclear weapons? *crickets*

‘There are emails setting up a collective within the corporation to get around the 5,000 USD limit on corporate campaign donations to give 50,000 USD to get the Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo elected ‘

That may be very illegal.

So now we get to find out who these racist leftists are, and what they really think, when they let their email hair down.

Valerie Jarrett will let Hillary proceed, then Clinton will be destroyed and the real candidate will appear.

It retrospect it will seem to have been so obvious as to be laughable.

Actually, a lot of these Sony emails *are* State Department documents!

Sony was working with the State Dept to insert anti-Russia propaganda into their movies, and also to play up the threat of ISIS.

That is what I have been thinking all along. Valjar will let her go to some point making her spend much of her money....then...poof. Warren will be the candidate.
