Other information includes casting and script summaries, including summaries for future episodes. Some of the previously leaked Game of Thrones materials include “marketing spreadsheets and media plans” related to promoting the new season of the popular series. HBO has not commented about this latest leak.
“In the spirit of professional cooperation, we are asking you to extend your deadline for one week.” “You have the advantage of having surprised us,” the message reads. The newest leaked email also asks the hacker for an extension to the ransom deadline. As first reported by Variety, the offered sum was meant to “stall for time while the company attempted to assess the serious situation.” Unfortunately, it appears that the amount was insufficient. īut now, it would appear that the hackers are releasing more emails, and it reveals that HBO was willing to make a “bounty payment” of $250,000 in order to reward “white hat IT professionals” for “bringing these types of things to our attention,” where “things” obviously refers to data breaches. While the Hollywood Reporter didn’t release the specifics of what the attached files contained, file names included identifiers such as “Confidential” and “Script GOT7.” The latter is likely a reference to a script for an upcoming Game of Thrones episode. Polay/HBOJust last week, in an escalation of their threat to publicly release HBO stolen data, hackers sent private email correspondence of an unnamed HBO executive to the Hollywood Reporter as well as additional files.
