GAME OF THRONES LEAK CONTROVERSY: HBO WON'T BOW DOWN TO RANSOM DEMANDS

One of the world's biggest cable network channels, HBO, which is known to be a pioneer in programming, is now subject to one of the greatest controversies in recent days. HBO is the primary target of a hack, that is reported to be one of the most significant in the entertainment industry.

HBO's premier show, Game of Thrones has been facing leaks, following a hack by a group who has apparently demanded a ransom that would be equal to the 6-month salary of the entire organization.

It is also said that personal information of the actors starring in the show has also been hacked, along with draft scripts from five Game of Thrones season 7 episodes. But on the flip side of the controversy, it is said that HBO has released a statement saying that they will not be bowing down to the ransom demand and that they are not in contact with the claimed hackers.

They have also added that they would be doing what they do best, with regards to their programming, irrespective of such attempts to deter their momentum.
