WikiLeaks has discarded a second massive cache of 276, 394 internal documents from Sony into its searchable database. Sony has threatened to sue Twitter later last year reprimanding Twitter holding the responsibility for spreading the issue. In spite of this, Sony is facing a lawsuit from its former employees for not securing their information.
The update was publicized on WikiLeaks' Twitter account, "Sony Files 2 reveals Sony Pictures legal entanglements including an investigation for bribery."
Last April, WikiLeaks had supplemented Sony emails that outclassed the internal works of the studio with regards of the decision making procedure involving projects, personal information of its employees, pay incongruities to male and female actors as well as racist and offensive comments from Sony officials. The updated 276,394 searchable documents contain overhead accounts, calendars and event preparation, spilled on Sky News.
According to a Daily Mail report, Sony's leaked documents have been available on the internet from the time of the Guardians of Peace rift way back November 2014 in which 30,000 other documents were filched from Sony Pictures by a team from Korea. Searching through files was made easier by WikiLeaks.
While disbursement reports are not that raving than email spills, Sony is certainly doomed on the circumstance as it was studying legal preferences when WikiLeaks updated the initial bunch of documents to the database.
The company is also inclined to sue Twitter if it didn't prohibit other accounts tweeting the leaked emails. "Sony will have no choice but to hold Twitter responsible for any damage or loss arising from such use or dissemination by Twitter." Sony Pictures general counsel David Boies stated in an article from CNET.
Then again, Sony is dealing with a class action lawsuit when previous employees took a legal action for not effectively keeping information about their employees, mentioned on Mashable.
Just these past few days, Billboard cleared that a California federal judge permitted previous employees to charge Sony Pictures about the global hack that has been attributed to North Korea.
WikiLeaks is a liberated, non-profit media website that issues submissions of inaccessible documents from unidentified sources. The website started in 2006 by the Sunshine Press. It is just miserable that there are non-profit group in the internet who are exploiting the new media for personal advantage together with the hackers depleting technology to disrupt private information and lives.
