Wikileaks has published a complete database of all the data that was leaked from Sony Pictures in a cyberattack last year that comprised of 1,73,132 emails and 30,287 separate documents.

According to the Verge, the documents contain private legal opinions as well as sensitive conversations between executives, many of which were the subject of reports in the wake of the hack.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said in a statement that the archive showed the inner workings of powerful multinational corporations.

Assange stated that the information was at the "centre of a geo-political conflict" and belonged to the public domain, adding that Wikileaks would ensure the database stayed.

 

The data earlier was obtained by various journalists but was not available widely. However, now Wikeleaks' new database is easy to search for, for both documents and emails.
