Hackers who claims to have stolen and published first 10 episodes of the upcoming season of Netflix’s "Orange is the New Black" on the Torrent site.
They are now threatening them to release more episodes on the internet if the Netflix fails to pay them an undisclosed amount of ransom money.
"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,” Netflix said in a statement.
According to the reports of Variety, the group is operated under the name of "The Dark Overlord." They threatened the network that they have plenty of more series from other networks like ABC, Fox, IFC, and National Geographic.
"It didn't have to be this way, Netflix. You're going to lose a lot more money in all of this than what our modest offer was," the hacker wrote, reports Variety. "We're quite ashamed to breathe the same air as you. We figured a pragmatic business such as yourselves would see and understand the benefits of cooperating with a reasonable and merciful entity like ourselves."
The F.B.I. is investigation this matter.
While the new episodes of “Orange Is the New Black” are set to release on June 9.
