Updated 12:38pm: Confidential emails between the top honchos at Sony Pictures are the latest embarrassing details to leak out, following an attack by hackers.

The private exchanges reveal what the company's top executives think of some of its biggest stars.

Sky's Katie Spencer has more.

"They reveal how Oscar winning actress Jennifer Lawrence was paid considerably less than her male co-stars in last year's critical hit American Hustle.

"While another sees a top producer Scott Rudin describe Angelina Jolie as a minimally talented spoilt brat."

Also released is an email of the usually-placid George Clooney firing up and vowing to take on Rupert Murdoch if he got in the way of the film on the UK phone tapping scandal.

Hacking saga sparks fears of spying 

Sony's ongoing hacking saga is raising fears of spying and hacking further afield.

Threats against staff and the leaking of embarassing emails has been linked back to North Korean sympathisers.

Technology reporter Josh White says that's lead to scrutiny of Chinese companies as well.

"In Australia the big Chinese firm Huawei has been barred from being involved in their national broadband network for fear that their equipment includes back doors to Beijing."
