An anonymous user hacked the networks of HBO and interfered with the confidential data files (yes, which include the episode unreleased and uncensored) and threatened the Game of Thrones team to gear up as the 'biggest leak of the year' is going to happen.

Following the threats and actual leaks of the material, the team of Game of Thrones has issued a public statement saying

'As most of you have probably heard by now, there has been a cyber incident directed at the company which has resulted in some stolen proprietary information, including some of our programming. Any intrusion of this nature is obviously disruptive, unsettling, and disturbing for all of us. I can assure you that senior leadership and our extraordinary technology team, along with outside experts, are working round the clock to protect our collective interests. The efforts across multiple departments have been nothing short of herculean."

'It is a textbook example of quintessential HBO teamwork. The problem before us is unfortunately all too familiar in the world we now find ourselves a part of. As has been the case with any challenge we have ever faced, I have absolutely no doubt that we will navigate our way through this successfully.'

This was the anon`s message before hacking the system and leaking the material:

Hi to all mankind. The greatest leak of cyber space era is happening. What's its name? Oh I forget to tell. Its HBO and Game of Thrones !!!!!! You are lucky to be the first pioneers to witness and download the leak. Enjoy it & spread the words. Whoever spreads well, we will have an interview with him. HBO is falling."

Will you watch the stolen version of Game of Thrones? Would you encourage such a crime? Or would you stay away from it?
