A hacker or group of hackers has breached the servers of HBO and have stolen over 1.5TB of information, some of which they leaked online over the weekend.

The hackers announced the leak by sending private emails to a group of selected reporters. The emails contained links to the leaked material.

The hackers didn't leak all the files they stole, but only an upcoming episode from Ballers and one from Room 104, two HBO productions. The hackers also leaked a written material that appeared to be the script for HBO's Game of Thrones season 7 episode 4 episode, set to air next Sunday.

Hackers promised to leak more content in the future. "Enjoy it & spread the words. Whoever spreads well, we will have an interview with him. HBO is falling," the hackers wrote in their email to reporters.

HBO confirmed the leak to Entertainment Weekly, who first broke the story. HBO chairman and CEO Richard Plepler also sent an internal email to HBO employees about the incident.
