Democratic e-mails
Wikileaks has released thousands of hacked emails from Hillary Clinton campaign manager John Podesta's account in the run-up to the 2016 US presidential election.

The emails also suggested that a CNN contributor had informed the Clinton campaign of a question that was going to be asked during a debate moderated by the broadcaster.
The timing of the leaks led to accusations that Wikileaks was deliberately trying to discredit Ms. Clinton.

The piracy of Sony Pictures
A leak of more than 170,000 emails and 20,000 documents from the Sony Pictures movie studio was posted on Wikileaks in 2015.
The entertainment company suffered a cyber-attack for several weeks before releasing The Interview, a film that mocks North Korea.
The emails revealed that actresses Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams had received lower fees than their male counterparts in American Hustle.
There were also messages from producers and executives insulting celebrities such as Angelina Jolie.
Leonardo DiCaprio has been described as "odious" for refusing a role in a Sony Pictures film.
Assange said that emails were in the public interest because they showed the inner workings of a multinational company and were "at the center of a geopolitical conflict".
