Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Hot off the press. This is rather disappointing. Source: CNET Quote According to Entertainment Weekly, hackers have penetrated HBO's systems and posted forthcoming episodes of "Ballers" and "Room 104" online as well as a script for the as-yet-unaired episode four of "Game Of Thrones." Hackers claimed to have stolen 1.5TB of data from the company and said that there was more material yet to come. Representatives for HBO told EW that there was a "cyber incident" which resulted in the "compromise of proprietary information." "We immediately began investigating the incident and are working with law enforcement and outside cybersecurity firms," a network representative said to the magazine. "Game of Thrones" is already among the the most pirated shows online, but the release of episodes before they air would represent a significant escalation. Earlier this year, hackers released episodes of "Orange is the New Black" ahead of that season's premiere on Netlfix. Looks like the hacker is quite impatient and wanted to know what will happen next. But 1.5TB of company data? That could be anything other than scripts like unedited footages or even company data. So at the moment, if you'll ever stumble upon leaked episodes, don't watch it just yet and wait for the rest of us. To be honest, I'm not really a big fan of the show until last year after excessive persuasion from a friend. I'm wondering now what are the rules set within HBO's firewall that a data breach happened. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edited August 1, 2017 by hey_yo_ There is more that meets the eye I see the soul that is inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the quality, I suppose, but I don't see 3-4 episodes being that large even at 4k.

Posted August 1, 2017 4 minutes ago, Misanthrope said: Or just raw footage of not even one full episode. It's almost certainly not raw footage. Raw footage is huge. 1.5TB of 'raw footage' would be an insignificant amount. If they got any video data it was probably what we typically call 'reels' which are usually quicktime renders of lengths of films or episodes that are HEAVILY watermarked and in various states of completion. I get hat a lot of you think 1.5TB is a lot of of data, but I once worked on a 10 second shot from a recent film and it had 4TB in assets. ...That was after it was simplified by the original VFX vendor. This is a 'top end' example of how heavy it can be, but I'm just saying, you guys think 1.5TB is a lot but it necessarily isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
