by EG
HBO is the latest network to be the victim of a cyber attack.
Several months after episodes of Netflix's Orange is the New Black were leaked online early, the pay cabler has been hit by hackers specifically targeting HBO's original programming, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Among the episodes leaked were one episode of Ballers, one episode of Room 104 and, allegedly, the script for Game of Thrones' next episode, the fourth episode of season seven.
“HBO recently experienced a cyber incident, which resulted in the compromise of proprietary information,” the network said 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.”
