HBO hacked: Upcoming episodes, Game of Thrones data leaked online

“HBO recently experienced a cyber incident, which resulted in the compromise of proprietary information,” the network confirmed 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.”

Hackers claimed to have obtained 1.5 terabytes of data from the company. So far, an upcoming episode of Ballers and Room 104 have apparently been put online. There is also written material that’s allegedly from next week’s fourth episode of Game of Thrones. More is promised to be “coming soon.”

The night is dark and full of spoilers.

 

[BronsonLee]

I blame Confederate for this

 

[Marcus]

[Heel]

Slowly but surely enabling the end of the open internet. Congrats.

 

[Magwik]

That's a lot of video.
Spoilers will be everywhere.

 

[Switch Back 9]

That's a lot of video.

Good, I'm fucking sick to death of hearing about GoT and GoT spoilers. Ruin the show for everyone so I don't have to read about it anymore.

 

[Solo]

Where's my Luck S2 first 2 episodes at?

 

[Ikuu]

Spoilers have been out for GoT for months anyway

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

So only one GoT episode? Could be worse.

 

[Fenderputty]

So turn off the internet until next Sunday?

 

[Toki767]

Eh. If it's only next week's episode, it's probably not a huge deal. At least, I can wait until Sunday to watch it.

Now if it's the entire season, I'd have to try my hardest to not get spoiled.

 

[dopplr]

God damn, I don't want to be spoiled after waiting so long for GoT.

 

[Einchy]

Leave my Game of Thrones alone, Hackerman.

 

[Dynomutt]

Good, I'm fucking sick to death of hearing about GoT and GoT spoilers. Ruin the show for everyone so I don't have to read about it anymore.

You must've been a Ned Stark fan fan. It's ok.

 

[whyamihere]

So far, an upcoming episode of Ballers [...] have apparently been put online.

why can't I find a picture of Elizabeth Warren on a computer

 

[Nekketsu Kõha]

They had no choice. They live in Canada.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

I hope we manage to keep spoilers off gaf :/

 

[effzee]

Why?

 

[rudger]

thats a shit ton of data

Not if we're talking about video files.

 

[captive]

thats a shit ton of data

its its mostly video based, its really not.

Who has time to look through all that data?

again if its video its probably pretty easy to sort through.

Sucks, don't know why people can't just leave shit along. Also don't know why people cant secure their shit. Also how do you not notice 1.5 terabytes of data being transmitted that is outside the norm.

 

[Slayven]

[Ryaaan14]

They had no choice. They live in Canada.

[PeakPointMatrix]

Good, I'm fucking sick to death of hearing about GoT and GoT spoilers. Ruin the show for everyone so I don't have to read about it anymore.

IM SICK OF A CERTAIN THING!

*enters thread about certain thing to post about certain thing*

 

[doop_]

Just leave Insecure out of this

 

[MUnited83]

Spoiler: Important character dies. Then another one. Then another one.

 

[cyba89]

So we getting the remaining episodes of the season or what?

No. Because of the hack HBO decided to cancel Game Of Thrones.

 

[Chittagong]

The real news is that Ballers is back, fuck yeah!!

 

[Slayven]

Spoilers: Jon Snow challenges the whtie walkers a dance battle, where he defeat them by turning the spinarooni into a worm

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Spoiler: Important character dies. Then another one. Then another one.

Feels like we are at a point where that isn't going to happen, aside from obvious bad guys.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

is insecure safe?

 

[otapnam]

Wasnt the story from earlier in the year that it was a smaller production firm that had a single win98 or other old OS server running in the office that compromised the rest of the servers?

Pretty crazy how the hackers are just trawling old compromised hardware and striking gold

 

[cameron]

Good, I'm fucking sick to death of hearing about GoT and GoT spoilers. Ruin the show for everyone so I don't have to read about it anymore.

Maybe get out more? And spare us your moaning? I haven't heard much about GoT spoilers outside this thread.

They had no choice. They live in Canada.

Ayy...

On Sunday, an anonymous email was sent to many reporters announcing the hack:

”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 & spread the words. Whoever spreads well, we will have an interview with him. HBO is falling."

Hackers always talk like Skeletor.

 

[LionPride]

is insecure safe?

All that matters

 

[D_psipher]

is insecure safe?

I laughed at this way harder than i should have. Then I realized that the question really needs to be answered.

 

[theWB27]

Must be a nightmare for the spoiler crowd.

 

[Netherscourge]

So to be clear - SUBSCRIBER data is fine?

It's just the scripts and plots of shows that have been "Pirates of the Caribbean'd"?

 

[Novel Mike]

Honestly if HBO knows these guys could just leak all the Game of Thrones episodes I'd just say hey, this next Sunday they're just doing a GoT Marathon and show every season 7 episode all in one day. The positive buzz they'd get from it would draw attention away from the leaked content at least.

 

[entremet]

Hackers love GOT, man.

 

[enzo_gt]

Damn, the GoT thirst is real huh

 

[Slayven]

Be hilarious if most of it was old footage from Real Sex episodes.

 

[CaviarMeths]

Yikes, just read the season 7 spoilers: Turns out Jon Snow was actually two midgets the entire time.

You mean one?
