HBO seems to have become the recipient of one hacking attack that resulted in the leak of 1.5 terabytes data.
The extent of the violation
The violation was confirmed by HBO itself, which said it leaked proprietary data without specifying exactly what data.
In accordance with Entertainment Weekly, the attackers have already leaked online unreleased episodes from Ballers, Room 104, but also a script that seems to be for the next episode of HBO 's hugely popular Game of Thrones series.
Hackers who do not seem to be interested in money but more to cause damage to the company have emailed a link that leads the data to too many journalists.
"Enjoy it and spread it. Anyone who spreads it more will be able to interview us. "The HBO is falling," the message reads.
The hackers reportedly told Wired that they had penetrated HBO's network and collected “archives, movies, scipts, and so on ”. They also claim to have obtained a great deal of information about HBO staff and other internal data.
The extent of the violation has not yet been determined, but if the assailants claim it is true, this hack is more like that of Sony (2014).
Now what;
HBO has invited security companies to help with the investigation, and has also alerted the Authorities to the incident. HBO Chairman and CEO Richard Plepler has meanwhile been notified by HBO employees of the violation.
"Ever since the malicious attack on Sony took place Pictures "It is obvious that hackers highly value any high-value content such as movies and TV shows," said Richard Stiennon, Chief Strategy Officer at Blancco Technology Group.
There are no more details at this time, but you will soon see hack results in your neighbor's torrent tracker.
