Sony Pictures hit by WikiLeaks document dump

Get ready for “The Sony Hack: The Sequel.”

Still recovering from a hack attack that leaked embarrassing emails, Sony Pictures has been hit by a massive WikiLeaks document dump.

The Web site, run by Julian Assange, unveiled Thursday an easily searchable database of more than 30,000 documents and 172,000 e-mails hackers stole from Sony’s film division in November 2014.

“This archive shows the inner workings of an influential multinational corporation. It is newsworthy and at the centre of a geo-political conflict,” Assange said in a statement. “It belongs in the public domain. WikiLeaks will ensure it stays there.”

WikiLeaks said the documents highlight the studio’s close ties to the Democratic party and its efforts to collect “intelligence” on rival studios including Oliver Stone’s upcoming film on Edward Snowden.

The Sony documents first surfaced in November as part of the biggest corporate hacking in history and were made public temporarily by a group called Anonymous.

US officials said they traced the attack to the North Korean government and said it was likely retaliation for a controversial Sony movie, “The Interview,” about the assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

“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,” Sony said in a statement.

“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.”

Sony movie boss Amy Pascal, who stepped from her position this year under pressure, drew scrutiny after the emails showed her making insensitive comments about President Obama’s taste in movies.

The new WikiLeaks database is sure to create renewed havoc at Sony’s headquarters in Culver City, Calif., months after execs, including Sony Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton, thought the issue was dead and buried.

Instead, WikiLeaks drew attention Thursday to Lynton’s directorship at the Rand Corp., a US military intelligence think tank. It also mentions Lynton attended a dinner with President Obama in Martha’s Vineyard.

The emails also show Sony aimed to establish a fund-raising collective “to get around the $5,000 limit on corporate campaign donations,” according to the site’s statement.
