Attackers dump HBO social media account passwords on the internet following hacks and leaks of unaired TV shows and confidential dataThe hackers who compromised HBO’s network systems in July have threatened to leak the final two episodes of Game of Thrones. The hackers also gave Mashable a list of the usernames and passwords for a number of HBO’s social media accounts, including its primary @HBO Twitter account. Last week the OurMine hacking group took control of HBO’s social media, including the Game of Thrones Twitter account. Game of Thrones is already one of the most pirated TV shows of all time. Experts have argued that due to the prevalence of TV show piracy, threats of releasing unaired episodes were not enough to coerce payment.
