WikiLeaks makes it easier to search through all of the documents stolen in Sony Pictures cyber attack

WikiLeaks has released "The Sony Archives" today, a fully searchable database that contains 173,132 emails and 30,287 other documents that were stolen and released following the cyber attack on Sony Pictures last year.
The site appears to have added the exchanges due to the fact that there are thousands of emails between Sony and politicians with "almost 100 US government email addresses" found in the database. Some of the emails show that Sony employees attended campaign dinners to help get current NY governor Andrew Cuomo elected.

"This archive shows the inner workings of an influential multinational corporation,"
WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange said in the press release. "It is newsworthy and at the centre of a geo-political conflict. It belongs in the public domain. WikiLeaks will ensure it stays there."

The leaked emails were a huge embarrassment for the company, as many of its high level executives were found to be speaking crassly of actors and celebrities that Sony often worked with.
