VIDEO: HBO HAS BEEN HACKED AND IT LEADS TO GAME OF THRONES SCRIPT EXPOSURE!
A hacker or a group of hackers has breached the servers of HBO and have stolen over 1.5TB of information, some of which they leaked online over the weekend. The hackers announced the leaks by sending emails to a group of selected reporters and these emails contained links to the leaked materials.
The email reportedly said “HBO is falling,” and promised that more leaks would be coming soon. The Game of Thrones script has been released and is reportedly from the episode scheduled to air next week.
This is not the first time this has happened to HBO, in the past they struggled with Game of Thrones leaks. In 2015, the first four episodes of season 5 leaked online.
In that incident, hackers had breached a sound mixing studio and stolen movies and TV episodes from several movie studios, such as Netflix, FOX, IFC, NAT GEO, and ABC. Netflix declined to pay a ransom demand. In June, the same hackers leaked ABC's upcoming Funderdome game show, also after ABC declined to pay a ransom demand.
It is unknown if hackers had tried to extort HBO before the leak. Check out the video to find out more about the HBO hacking story!
