Hackers released new HBO data on Wednesday, including scripts for unaired episodes of “Divorce” and “Vice Principals.”
Also released in the so-called “fourth wave” of the hackers’ info dump were scripts for such new series as Amy Adams’ “Sharp Objects,” along with documents about the shoot for “Westworld” Season 2.
HBO responded by referring to its previous statement: “It has been widely reported that there was a cyber incident at HBO. The hacker may continue to drop bits and pieces of stolen information in an attempt to generate media attention. That’s a game we’re not going to participate in.”
“Obviously, no company wants their proprietary information stolen and released on the internet,” the network statement continued. “Transparency with our employees, partners, and the creative talent that works with us has been our focus throughout this incident and will remain our focus as we move forward. This incident has not deterred us from ensuring HBO continues to do what we do best.”
Previous leaks have included “Game of Thrones” scripts, network documents, internal emails and episodes of “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Ballers” and “Insecure.”
The hackers, known as “Mr. Smith,” previously released a ransom letter that they sent to HBO demanding over $6 million in bitcoin to prevent the release of leaked data.
