Oh, you thought everyone was done attacking Sony for last year’s infamous Sony Pictures hack? Well, think again. Despite numerous threats and warnings from the company, WikiLeaks has added an additional 276,394 Sony documents to the already massive collection of data it obtained from the hack.

WikiLeaks has added another 276,394 documents to its trove of data lifted from Sony Pictures Entertainment as a result of its infamous hack by “North Koreans”. The leaky boat first published Sony’s stuff in April, when it released 30,000 documents and argued its actions were justified because Sony was “at the centre of a geo-political conflict” and is an influential voice in global copyright considerations. Sony counter-argued that WikiLeaks was making North Korea look good and sent out legal letters telling world+dog that it was not a good idea to rummage through the purloined documents. WikiLeaks revealed this dump with rather less fanfare – we got the Tweet below and not much more – but has followed up with a pointer to one document alleging an incident of bribery.
