HBO is calling the recent theft of information relating to its programming the result of a "cyber incident."
In a statement, from HBO chairman Richard Plepler to employees, Plepler acknowledged the attack, saying it "resulted in some stolen proprietary information."
Among that information is "some of our programming," Plepler said. While not explicitly stating which programs were part of the leak, EW reports unaired episodes of Ballers and Room 104 have been posted online.
In addition to the programming, material from next week's episode of Game of Thrones has allegedly been stolen, with the hackers threatening to release more information "soon."
In his statement to HBO employees, Plepler promised teams are working to "protect our collective interests."
"The efforts across multiple departments have been nothing short of herculean," he added. HBO didn't specifically state what information had been stolen, but the hackers claim the information totals around 1.5 terabytes.
If you don't want next week's episode spoiled, maybe don't visit any places online that would host or discuss the hacked info. If you're all caught up, check out our review of Game of Thrones episode "The Queen's Justice."
