The Game Of Thrones script and episode theft seems to have escalated to another level. About 1.5 TB data was reportedly hacked from HBO’s server. The hackers have demanded a 7 Million Dollar Ransom for not leaking any more episodes.
This whole scenario began a week ago when a hackers group claimed to hack 1.5 TB data from HBO servers. The script and episodes of Game Of Thrones are a part of the stolen data. Not only scripts but legal papers, employment agreements and much more is reportedly stolen.

In a statement to Wired, HBO spokesperson Jeff Cusson said,
“We continue to work around the clock with outside cybersecurity firms and law enforcement to resolve the incident,” declining any comments on further demands of the hackers.
