HBO has joined the ranks of Hollywood entertainment companies to suffer a major cyber attack.

 

继好莱坞娱乐公司之后，HBO也成为黑客攻击目标。

 

EW has learned that upcoming episodes of a couple series and at least one alleged¹ script or treatment have been put online by hackers² who breached⁴ the company's systems -- with more threatened to be coming soon.

 

"HBO recently experienced a cyber incident, which resulted in the compromise of proprietary⁵ information. We immediately began investigating the incident and are working with law enforcement and outside cyber-security 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 apparently⁶ been put online. There is also written material that's allegedly from next week's fourth episode of Game of Thrones.

 

HBO is not commenting on what content might have been stolen, confirming specific titles or the amount of data accessed. HBO chairman and CEO Richard Plepler sent an email on Tuesday to HBO employees alerting them of the breach³.
