THE Sony hacking scandal continues with more leaks including Princess Beatrice’s salary.

Princess Beatrice, 26, earned £19,500 a year ($A36,807) as an intermediate coordinating producer in the company’s London office, The Mirror newspaper reports.

Hackers who disclosed her private information have forwarded her salary information and her address, listed as Windsor, Berkshire, directly to media organisations in the US.

The Duke and Duchess of York’s oldest daughter has been working at Sony Pictures since January.

The leak of Princess Beatrice’s salary comes after more than 47,000 salaries and private details belonging to other Sony workers’ past and current were revealed.

Other celebrities initially named included Australian actor Rebel Wilson and Sylvester Stallone.

The Guardians of Peace (GOP), the group of hackers who have claimed responsibility for the hacking scandal, have also warned Sony against its release of the controversial film The Interview.

The film, starring Seth Rogen and James Franco, has sparked tensions with North Korea, as it mocks the country’s leader Kim Jong-un.

While North Korea has been accused of being behind the hacking scandal, the country continues to deny any involvement.

Variety.com reports hackers have told Sony today to “immediately showing the movie of terrorism which can break the regional peace and cause the war.”

The message from GOP said that they “have given our clear demand to the management team of Sony, however they have refused.”

“You, SONY, & FBI, cannot find us,” they wrote online.

Franco and Rogen recently fought back against the hackers on Saturday Night Live when they said that because of the leak, their most embarrassing private photos had been accessed.

They then unveiled a series of so-called nude photographs they took together, to make light of the cyberattack.

A folder of “exit snapshots,” containing viewer reactions and box office totals for recent films also exists.

Financial expectations for films including the Steve Jobs biopic, Inferno and Smurfs 3 also exists, which are quite damning.

One file showed revenue projections for the Steve Jobs biopic fell by 25 per cent once Leonardo DiCaprio pulled out of the project, 9to5mac.com reports.

Secret “popularity polls” which show approval ratings and awareness ratings for hundreds of A-list actors in different markets around the world have also been revealed.

Fusion.net reports these ratings are used to make casting decisions. “For example, in one spreadsheet, Will Ferrell is listed as having 64 per cent average awareness in 10 key overseas markets, while Tina Fey gets only 35 per cent average awareness,” the website stated.
