Sony Pictures Hack Reveals Secret Aliases of Famous Actors

The massive hack of Sony Pictures has been pretty devastating for the motion picture giant, between leaks of its upcoming slate of movies and private memos and information about certain celebrities (including at least one’s Social Security number). And now we’ve learned some of the aliases used by some of the biggest names in Hollywood.

Here is a list of the celebrity aliases exposed by the hack, according to a new Fusion report:

• Jessica Alba– Cash Money
• Daniel Craig– Olwen Williams
• Ice Cube– Darius Stone, O’Shea Jackson (his actual name)
• Taye Diggs– Scott Diggs (his actual name)
• Tom Hanks– Harry Lauder, Johnny Madrid
• Jude Law– Mr. Perry
• Tobey Maguire– Neil Deep
• Debra Messing– Ava Harper
• Sarah Michelle Gellar– Neely O’Hara
• Clive Owen– Robert Fenton
• Natalie Portman– Laura Brown
• Rob Schneider– Nazzo Good

The hacking has been potentially linked to North Korea in retaliation for Sony’s upcoming movie The Interview, in which the main characters––played by Seth Rogen and James Franco––are recruited by the U.S. government to assassinate Kim Jong-Un. North Korea has been a bit cagey over whether it emanated from them.

The hacking attempt also revealed previously unreleased scripts, employee salaries, some people’s phone numbers, and the revelation that people at Sony are getting sick of Adam Sandler‘s movies.
