They also assured that the reporters could download and spread the leaks. They added that the person who can spread it well would have the opportunity to have an exclusive interview with them.
HBO is now taking action
The Entertainment Weekly confirmed this hack. The site also revealed that hackers were also able to steal information of the upcoming episodes of Ballers and Room 104. These are all apparently released online.
HBO has confirmed that they have suffered from the massive cyber attack. HBO chief executive officer Richard Plepler has said that it is their top priority and responsibility to protect all the data they have.
With this, the recent incident is disruptive, unsettling and disturbing.
They are now investigating the incident and working with law enforcement cyber security firms to address the problem. “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, said” Plepler. It remains unknown what kind of hackers they are dealing with. However, their purpose is clear, and that is to make HBO fail.
