Privacy News Netflix's Hit Series OITNB taken Ransom, Stolen Episodes to be Shared Illegally

A hacker claims to have stolen the upcoming season of Netflix’s hit series Orange Is The New Black and is demanding that the video streaming service pay an unspecified ransom to prevent all the new episodes from being prematurely released online.

The hacker, operating under the name The Dark Overlord, has already purportedly uploaded the first episode to an illegal file-sharing service. The Associated Press could not legally confirm the authenticity of that uploaded file.

Netflix said that a small production vendor that works with several major TV studios had suffered a breach. The Los Gatos, California, company described it as an “active situation” that’s being investigated by the FBI and other authorities.

Good on Netflix for not paying. Sure, certain people will probably torrent and watch it but I'm betting they're divided between people who pay for Netflix already and just want to watch it early or people who can't or wouldn't pay for a Netflix subscription in the first place.
