WikiLeaks has made all the Sony data from last year’s hacking scandal “fully searchable” with a Google-style search engine, providing much easier access to the stolen information, which Wikileaks says sheds light on cooperation between government agencies and entertainers.
The Guardian reports:
Julian Assange, WikiLeaks’ editor-in-chief, said: “This archive shows the inner workings of an influential multinational corporation. It is newsworthy and at the centre of a geopolitical conflict. It belongs in the public domain. WikiLeaks will ensure it stays there.” …
“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,” a Sony spokesperson wrote in an unbylined statement. …
WikiLeaks said the stolen files shed light on cooperation between government agencies and entertainers. “The connections and alignments between Sony Pictures Entertainment and the Democratic party are detailed through the archives, including SPE’s CEO [Michael] Lynton attending dinner with President Obama at Martha’s Vineyard and Sony employees being part of fundraising dinners for the Democratic party.”
