The hacker may continue to drop bits and pieces of stolen information in an attempt to generate media attention. Thats a game were not going to participate in , the network said.
The hackers are reported to have stolen 1.5 terabytes of data from HBO an amount more than seven times what was stolen in the massive Sony hack in 2014. The hackers have reportedly demanded that the network pay a multimillion-dollar ransom or risk the release of even more data, which could include more unaired shows as well as sensitive internal documents.
Its kind of like kidnap and ransom and torture, Gartner analyst Avivah Litan told The Associated Press. Eventually HBO may have to give in.
