WikiLeaks has published 30,287 documents and 173,132 emails stemming from last winter’s cyber attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment.
The hack was reportedly initiated by North Korea in response to the studio’s decision to release “The Interview,” a comedy that centered on an assassination attempt on Kim Jong-un. That resulted in a series of embarrassing revelations, exposing correspondence between top executives and producers that ultimately led to the ouster of studio chief Amy Pascal and her replacement by TriStar chief Tom Rothman.
WikiLeaks, which came to prominence releasing government documents, said that it was releasing the archive because reporters were only able to “scratch the surface” before the correspondence was taken down.
“This archive shows the inner workings of an influential multinational corporation,” WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange said 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 spokeswoman for Sony did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
