Hacker leaks new season of 'Orange is the New Black' after demanding ransom

[Mook]

A hacker leaked the upcoming season of Netflix hit TV show "Orange is The New Black" after Netflix refused to meet the hacker's ransom demand, Variety reported Saturday.

The first 10 episodes of the show's new season were shared on the file-sharing site Pirate Bay early Saturday morning by a hacker going by "thedarkoverlord." The hacker reportedly demanded money from Netflix in exchange for not sharing the episodes.

"Thedarkoverlord" posted a message about the leak early Saturday, Variety said.

“It didn’t have to be this way, Netflix. You’re going to lose a lot more money in all of this than what our modest offer was,” the hacker wrote. “We’re quite ashamed to breathe the same air as you. We figured a pragmatic business such as yourselves would see and understand the benefits of cooperating with a reasonable and merciful entity like ourselves.”

The hacker's message also included threats to unveil other shows, warning networks that there is "still time to save yourselves."


The person or persons behind "thedarkoverlord" said it has also obtained unreleased shows from other major networks including ABC, Fox, National Geographic and IFC. The content, Variety reported, appeared to have been stolen from an attack on Larson Studios late last year.

Netflix was set to release the fifth season of "Orange is the New Black" on June 9. Variety said the show's premiere could be moved up in response to the leaks.

“We are aware of the situation," Netflix said in a statement. "A production vendor used by several major TV studios had its security compromised and the appropriate law enforcement authorities are involved.”

These boys are playing out here but I doubt any network is going to give into their demands.

This is stupid and I don't think this will hurt Netflix in the slightest. The most rabid fans of the series aren't the types that are likely to go looking for illegal copies on the internet,they'll just wait for the official release.

Most people with Netflix stay subscribed on a regular basis, not just signing up for a month here and there when a new season debuts. Don't see how this would hurt Netflix in any meaningful way, it's not like they need eyes glued in for ratings or anything.

I'm sort of the same way. I got an external HD set up just for movies, tv shows, and music. Mostly shyt I grew up watching as a kid though, stuff that's hard to find on other streaming services. Got every episode of Night Court, King of the Hill, and Martin last year
