Hackers Attack HBO, Leak Full TV Episodes and ‘Game of Thrones’ Script

The hackers are out in full force once again. This time, HBO is the network in trouble.

Following the hacks of Netflix and ABC, HBO was hit by a cyber attack over the weekend and some important content was leaked online.

According to EW, the hackers released full episodes of Ballers and Room 104, as well as part of the script for next week’s episode of Game of Thrones. Unfortunately, the leak isn’t the worst part.

The hackers claim to have stolen 1.5 terabytes of data from HBO, and they’re promising to release more soon.

“HBO recently experienced a cyber incident, which resulted in the compromise of proprietary information,” the network said in a statement. “We immediately began investigating the incident and are working with law enforcement and outside cybersecurity firms. Data protection is a top priority at HBO, and we take seriously our responsibility to protect the data we hold.”

HBO chairman and CEO Richard Plepler sent an email to his employees, informing them of what had happened.

“As most of you have probably heard by now, there has been a cyber incident directed at the company which has resulted in some stolen proprietary information, including some of our programming,” Plepler wrote.

“Any intrusion of this nature is obviously disruptive, unsettling, and disturbing for all of us. I can assure you that senior leadership and our extraordinary technology team, along with outside experts, are working round the clock to protect our collective interests. The efforts across multiple departments have been nothing short of herculean. It is a textbook example of quintessential HBO teamwork. The problem before us is unfortunately all too familiar in the world we now find ourselves a part of. As has been the case with any challenge we have ever faced, I have absolutely no doubt that we will navigate our way through this successfully,” he added.

As of now, HBO has not commented on what exactly has been stolen. If the hacker group has as much material as they claim, it could mean that full episodes of Game of Thrones are in their possession. However, no footage of Game of Thrones has been leaked to this point.
