WikiLeaks republishes all Sony hacking scandal documents

Title: WikiLeaks republishes all Sony hacking scandal documents



Summary:
This article is about how WikiLeaks has recently republished the Sony data from last year’s hacking scandal, making all the documents and emails “fully searchable” with a Google-style search engine. The move provides much easier access to the stolen. 

Facts/Phrases:
Ø  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.”
Ø  Former Sony Pictures chief Amy Pascal, whose controversial comments were revealed by the hack, immediately, yields nearly 5,700 results.

Opinion:

In my opinion, this article shows how privacy of major institutions, like Sony are easily prone to hacks and instant exposure to the world. This emphasises how new and digital media has impacted the institutions of the digital world.
