Five films distributed by Sony Pictures appear to have been leaked online following a reported cyber-attack on the company last month.

    Among the titles is a remake of classic film “Annie,” which is not due for release until December 19.

    The company was reported to have shut down its internal systems last week due to an “IT matter.”

    Some have linked the cyber-attack to forthcoming* film “The Interview,” Sony’s comedy about North Korea.

    That film does not appear to have been leaked.

    However, reports said other high-profile titles have been circulated. Among them “Fury,“ starring Brad Pitt, which was in cinemas in October but is yet to be made available on DVD.

    According to research firm Excipio, “Mr Turner,” “Still Alice” and “To Write Love on Her Arms” are also being distributed and downloaded.

    In a statement, the company said, “Sony Pictures continues to work through issues related to what was clearly a cyber attack last week.

    “The company has restored a number of important services to ensure ongoing business continuity and is working closely with law enforcement officials to investigate the matter.”(SD-Agencies)
