Hackers demand $6,000,000 from HBO payable in Bitcoin in order to prevent further Game of Throne & other leaks!
Hackers are demanding six million dollars of Bitcoin as a ransom from the HBO to prevent further leaks of other sensitive data and more “Game of Thrones” scripts, according to reports released Tuesday.

Monday, HBO said it did not believe its email system in its entirety had been compromised.

The group of hackers previously stole 1.5 terabytes of data from the network and leaked a script for an episode of the hit “Game of Thrones,” series as well as episodes of the shows “Ballers” and “Room 104.”

In a five ransom minute video from “Mr. Smith” to HBO CEO Richard Plepler, the hackers gave the message that the network has three days to pay up as the group dumped a fresh batch of stolen HBO files online Monday, CBS News reported.

The hackers threatened to leak confidential corporate data and to upload entire TV shows online.

To stop the leaks, the hackers demanded “our 6-month salary in Bitcoin,” which is at least $6 million.
