Wikileaks Publishes Hacked Sony Emails, Documents
itwbennett writes Wikileaks has published a searchable database of thousands of emails and documents from Sony Pictures Entertainment that were leaked in late 2014 after the studio was attacked by hackers. Some of the 173,132 emails and 30,287 documents contain highly personal information about Sony employees including home addresses, personal phone numbers and social security numbers, a fact which is likely to raise new concerns about the use of stolen information online.

There are more cases, even including bribery of US politicians, but I couldn't find a link in 5 seconds so I leave that to the people interested to find.
There is plenty of stuff in the leaked data that Sony doesn't want to get spread because it shows that they are engaging in criminal activity on a global level.
The "It's only personal data, think about the children!" nonsense is a lame attempt at covering up their wrongdoings and make people not look to closely into the leaked e-mails.
The "article" has a wall of text, but no link.

First of all this is an edited version. The OMG PERSONLYA INFORMATIN! is Sonys claim to try to prevent the incriminating stuff from spreading. If you actually look at what Wikileaks provide you see that they have provided way more than Sony wants them to but way less than Sony claims they do.
The problem with that is that editing hurts credibility. How do I know that Wikileaks haven't removed even more incriminating information?
It is still better than the information provided by Sony since it is done by a third party. It is not as good as raw data.
