WikiLeaks has published another round of documents from the hacking attack that crippled Sony Pictures Entertainment in November.

In April, Julian Assange’s site first uploaded over 170,000 documents — mostly emails — from the illegal hack of Sony’s computer system last fall. WikiLeaks is a fully searchable database, which allowed anyone to easily find correspondence between top level Hollywood executives and talent.

The new data dump, announced via Twitter on Thursday and consisting of 276,394 files, contains event planning, travel calendars, expense reports and contact details, according to Slash Gear.

Sony had no comment on the new leak, but it condemned Wikileaks’ decision to upload files the first time around.
