Apparent HBO hackers have uploaded episodes of Game of Thrones Season 7 following Monday’s cyberattack against the network.
On Monday, HBO suffered what the network called a “cyber incident.”
“HBO recently experienced a cyber incident, which resulted in the compromise of proprietary information. We immediately began investigating the incident and are working with law enforcement and outside cybersecurity firms,” the network said in the statement. “Data protection is a top priority at HBO, and we take seriously our responsibility to protect the data we hold.”
Following the cyberattack, Entertainment Weekly reported hackers were able to access 1.5 terabytes of data from HBO and apparently leaked upcoming episodes of Ballers and Room 104. The script for the next airing of Game of Thrones was also leaked online, according to the entertainment news site. HBO did not confirm any particulars about the leak in its Monday morning statement.
