HBO might have offered $250,000 to the hackers who stole Game of Thrones' script
HBO reportedly offered to pay $250,000 to those who stole nearly 1.5 TB data, including scripts of ‘Game of Thrones’ and other employee information. In a bid to contain further leaks from a group of hackers, HBO reportedly offered to pay $250,000 to those who stole nearly 1.5 TB data, including scripts of ‘Game of Thrones’ and other employee information, from the TV network. A purported leaked email, sent to various media publications by the hackers, appeared to come from an HBO executive, offering the ‘bug bounty’ of $250,000 for showing up weaknesses in the firm’s system, Forbes reported late on Friday. The hacked material also contains “countless” HBO internal documents, including a month’s worth of a top executive’s emails, financial balance sheets, employment agreements and marketing-strategy PDFs.
