Sony wants news organizations to delete data leaked after hack
Sony Pictures issued a warning Sunday to news organizations against use of information leaked after a massive security breach at the studio.
In a sternly worded letter first reported by The New York Times, Sony Pictures attorney David Boies referred to the leaked Sony documents as "stolen information" and demands that those that may have already been downloaded not be reviewed and destroyed.
"We are writing to ensure that you are aware that SPE does not consent to your possession, review copying, dissemination, publication, uploading, downloading or making any use of the stolen information, and to request your cooperation in destroying the stolen information," Boies writes in the three-page letter, a copy of which was also sent to The Hollywood Reporter and Recode.
