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.
