Criminals Hack HBO – Daily Security Byte

August 4, 2017 By Corey Nachreiner

HBO is reeling after a breach that allowed hackers to allegedly steal 1.5 terabytes of data from the cable company’s network. The attackers have leaked unreleased episodes of some shows, and apparently gotten their hands on the script for new Game of Thrones episodes. So far, HBO has not publicly shared how the breach happened, but it’s still a stark example of the potential damage of a data breach. Watch today’s video for more on this hack.

Episode Runtime: 1:42
