HBO is the focus of a “cyber-incident” reportedly involving hackers leaking forthcoming episodes and scripts of Game of Thrones.
According to Entertainment Weekly, those responsible have already shared data online from other shows as well, including Ballers and Room 104, and have threatened that more is to come.
“HBO recently experienced a cyber-incident, which resulted in the compromise of proprietary information,” a company statement reads. “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.”
In an email to employees, HBO’s chairman, Richard Piepler, described the attack as “disruptive, unsettling, and disturbing”. The specifics of what hackers have taken have yet to be officially revealed, but the amount of material stolen is believed to total 1.5 terabytes.
Reporters received an anonymous email on Sunday from the hackers that read: “Hi to all mankind. The greatest leak of cyber space era is happening. What’s its name? Oh I forget to tell. Its HBO and Game of Thrones……!!!!!! You are lucky to be the first pioneers to witness and download the leak. Enjoy it and spread the words. Whoever spreads well, we will have an interview with him. HBO is falling.”
The attack is the latest in a line of hacks aimed at major Hollywood companies following Disney being threatened with the early release of Pirates of the Caribbean 5; in April Netflix was targeted with the leak of a new season of Orange Is the New Black.
Game of Thrones remains HBO’s most popular show, with about 10 million viewers having tuned in for the new season’s debut.

#Smiles...Winter is Indeed Here
DeletePeople's obsession with the show is making them do this.
ReplyDeleteMaybe someone should fill me in so that I too will join the bandwagon.
I want to be a GOT fan too.....lol
Happy new month everyone.

DeleteChi its a very nice and intriguing series that will keep you sifted and begging for more,the suspense,plot and betrayals is out of this world I tell u,try starting from season one and thank me later dear
DeleteLet me join you people abeg let us all enjoy it together
DeleteAthiest, people said same thing to me about Empire, but I got hooked after I watched it for the very first time so i think GOT would intrigue me.
Let me download season one first to kick start.
Isaacson and Xoxoxo you got a new member in me. LOL
Pipi lee, the queen of GOT, write down my name on the register biko
And it begins!
Lmaoooooooo
DeleteNne, registration fee na 5k o
Click on my bio for account deets.
Love you...mmwwahhh
My dear o!
DeleteSo that few weeks ago the thing was the rave here,I was like "I hope I am not missing something. Read it up but it wasn't interesting to me. I said no way! U have to watch to finally decide"
So that very day the new season (shey that's what they call it?) started,I was already poised with remote in hand waiting. Hian! I no see am!
I didn't want to miss a sec and I had some time before it started,so I called up Iphie and after chatting we hung up to watch it.
Show started. Hianest!
All I could see was snow and people in winter coats speaking through their noses🙄
I called up Iphie again. I was like The main show don start? Or is this the prelude to the prelude of the show?
She tried to explain. Didn't know where to start. Me sef was getting impatient. She said just chill u wil get it. I said ok,let's see. Stay on the phone let's watch it together🤣
But boy! Some 2 minutes later,I was telling her Sweet Dreams and going to bed while cussing Pipi Yoo and Atheist under my breath. Iphie too. And to some extent all GOT fans that made Me feel I was missing something by not watching GOT🤣
Awwwww TGW its bcos you did not follow it from the first season....its very nice honestly,and on behalf of GOT FANS SDK blog,we beg that you give it another try....we want you as our GOT FAN also like ASAP...have a lovely day
DeleteThe General's wife, please put some respect on my favourite TV show na. A good number of us have been in a relationship with it for 7years and of course it's not something you'd get by watching the first episode of the Seventh season. Even for us die hard fans, the first episodes of every season since after the first has been bleh...ish. It's the show's paradigm.
DeleteTo enjoy Game of Thrones which I believe you will, start from the very beginning.
MISS Jacobs.
You didn't start from season one. GOT makes sense. Thyrone is my Bae of life
Delete*Tyrion Lannister @ Debrah
DeleteTG Mama yo!
So you think you can just come through and jump on Season 7 just like bengdereren abi?
GOT is the GOAT....BEST believe.
DeleteI will wait patiently till the final episode for season 7 comes out.
My advice to the newbies, be patient while watching season 1, it starts to get interesting half way when you have put 2 and 2 together
@TGW 🤣
DeleteYou will never get it... Come on.. Its Season 7
Our first Hero died in Season one....
Trust me, the show is awesome
Introduced le boo to it last year, he couldn't understand the worldwide craze...he started from season one, wouldn't watch anything else, caught up wf us @season 6.. He leads the club now.. Try it, its my best movie ever!!!
I vote Arya Stark to kill Cersei #agirlhasnoface and with the help of their Dog gone wild & leader of a pack, she will conquer the wildlings
DeleteMeanwhile anyone read the book(s).😁😁
GOT is the best movie ever. The only movie I am not yet bored with. Lol! I have the entire book minus. Season 6 and 7 sha. They haven't released those yet.
DeleteJon snow is a Targaryen and Daenerys is his aunt. Said this way back and boo didn't believer. Reading the book helps put two and two together. Who else knows that Tyron Lannister is a Targaryen. In the book,the mad king (Daenerys' father) was very much in love with Joan Lannister (Tyrion's mother)... Let me stop here for now.
Can't wait for Petyr Baelish (the evil mastermind) to do. If not for him Robert's right hand and Eddard would still be alive. I think he wants to marry Sansa so with time he can become the warden of the North. With him having control over the Vale and as master of Winterfell.
Arya might be the one who kills the red priestess who is four hundred years old. I don't know yet if she will kill Cersei. I got this feeling that Jamie will kill Cersei. Who else noticed that Jon snow was attracted to Daenerys? Although I don't think she feels the same way. He couldn't even look her in the eye.
Stella i have seen it last night🙈I couldn't close my mouth seriously.Anyway,shits happens
ReplyDeleteLol

Atheist dont mind pipi lee her plan will not work.
Isaac baba, dey don't know, no mind them. Oya hold my hand, let's be going.
Delete😂😂😂😂 see all the baddest fans 🙌🏼osheeey
DeleteWe haven't seen any leaks yet o. Just the normal Ep 3 that was released around 3am on Monday Morning. I just checked all the sites I download from now and saw nothing. Hackers, how far? If David, George and DB Weiss can be so mean as to make us wait for S8 until 2019, why should hackers deal with them for us? As if 10 Episodes per year and 8episodes in 2017 isn't enough. They are taking our love for the series for Granted, but we still can't help loving the series.
ReplyDeleteIm blinded to any thing GOT season 7, till the entire season is completely out.... i dont do so well with suspense, i fit kill person
ReplyDeleteWe should get married. I always wait for the season to come to an end before watching. Waiting for Scandal's finale before watching season 7 sef.
DeleteAnon han Han is that how u use to do lol na joke oooo...atheist boss oya pop the question quick
DeleteAbeg oooo they should not release any stuff ooo and spoil it for others...have been a huge fan of this series for years now and its one of my best series so far till date
ReplyDeleteThis GOThrones has a way of capturing n captivating sum ppl, youd just be hooked like heroin, my colleague almost got suspension letter for using office hour n wifi to watch GOT... i still dont get the source of addiction thr, & it cnt be just the sex scence.
ReplyDeleteSex scene?😳

DeletePatiently waiting for the complete episodes...I can't come and rush myself
ReplyDeleteHBO and hackers kuku kee me, I couldn't watch last
ReplyDeleteIve downloaded it but can't watch it during office hours, a part of me wants to watch it at once but a part of me loves looking forward to Monday night. This show is d biggest I've watched so far and I love it
ReplyDeleteFrankly, I see why they'd do that, the suspense is bloody killing.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I wouldn't watch it, I'd wait for HBO to release it weekly as is the pattern. I am loyal like that.
Cersie, Oh Cersie! That resting bitch face you've got though...there's no underestimating You!!
MISS Jacobs.
Cersie with the permanent scowl...bitch of all bitches, I love how the Queen of Thorns said her farewell, Jamie and Cersie can go drink to that (in pain and regret).
DeletePipi...sharp tongued, witty and gracious as ever. Queen of thorns indeed, I couldn't even feel sad about it. Farewell of a champ.
DeleteMISS Jacobs.
How I hate cersei for everything she represents even more than her son Geoffrey....I can't wait to see how she will definitely be killed by daenerys..the fight will be epic between both,I hope am right bcos these script writers are not predictable at all
DeleteExactly @Isaacbaba.... I'm so scared . GoT is so hard to predict. Lol
DeleteWaiting for the complete season
ReplyDeleteLast night I tried to download episode 3 from o2tvseries but those virus ad kept popping up and so I couldn't download. Now I'm gonna do what I did last season to wait until the season is over before I resume downloading
