As Sony pictures struggles to get its computer systems back after a hack last week, loads of sensitive data and documents including, the passports of celebrities like, Jonah Hill, Cameron Diaz and Angelina Jolie; a file apparently containing passwords for Twitter, accounting systems and the website; and Outlook email archives face the risk of being released by hackers.

The company's systems were breached on Monday following which the hackers posted a message on all PCs threatening to disclose stolen data if Sony Pictures failed to co-operate with its demands. The group however, has not made any demands despite the expiry of the deadline set by them, reported The Independent.

 

The company's employees have been forced to work on pen and paper.

Meanwhile, a person claiming to be a member of the hacking group has said that the group was looking for equality and seemed to imply that they had physical access to Sony Network.

The report said that this statement along with others made elsewhere, implied that the group either includes Sony employees or were helped by one.

The hack could take up to three weeks to fix.
