The Hacker Who Leaked OITNB Is Threatening Other Networks Now

A post-production studio used by many shows got hit

Hackers late last week released what appear to be episodes of the upcoming season of Orange Is the New Black, allegedly after Netflix didn’t respond to the hackers’ ransom demands.

Known as @thedarkoverlord, the hacker or group of hackers released what they say is Season 5 of the popular show, and they continue to threaten networks such as ABC and Fox on Twitter. Netflix said in a statement Friday: “We are aware of the situation. A production vendor used by several major TV studios had its security compromised and the appropriate law enforcement authorities are involved.”
