Hackers have released spoilers for episodes of Game of Thrones and unseen episodes of other series HBOThe FBI has been called in to investigate last week’s hack of HBO, the entertainment network, as the true scale of the data breach emerges. The unidentified hackers, who struck on Thursday, have released spoilers for episodes of Game of Thrones and complete unseen episodes of other series. They claim to have stolen 1.5 terabytes of data, equivalent to scores of HDTV episodes, or millions of emails, and have threatened to leak more content. Three years ago hackers sponsored by North Korea caused serious embarrassment and financial damage to Sony Pictures by leaking only 200 gigabytes (0.2 terabytes) of stolen data. HBO has sent a legal notice to force Google to remove search results for leaked files.
