Wikileaks publishes hacked Sony emails, documents

UPDATE: Adds paragraphs 4, 11 and 12 with new information from Sony Pictures

The database is the first time the information, which made up one of the largest and more serious breaches in U.S. corporate history, has been so easily accessible to a wide audience and is likely to raise new concerns about the use of stolen information online.
