Hackers leak Game of Thrones climax

The hacking group which stole approximately 1.5 terabytes of data from HBO have released, what they call, a sixth wave of leaks that contain confidential plot summaries 

Just a day before the last episode of Game of Thrones Season 7 is set to hit the screens, the HBO hackers calling themselves 'Mr Smith' have leaked the climax of the ongoing season, thus ending the suspense that kept millions of fans on toes.

The hacking group which stole approximately 1.5 terabytes of data from HBO have released, what they call, a sixth wave of leaks that contain confidential plot summaries.

In response, HBO has said the hackers may continue to drop bits and pieces of stolen information in an attempt to generate media attention. "That's a game we're not going to participate in," HBO was quoted as saying.

The hacking group demanded approximately $6.5 million worth of Bitcoin from HBO but that demand has not been met so far. 

However, the hacking group claimed to have sold the stolen data to three customers in deep web who paid them half of the amount they had requested in ransom from HBO. "We will leak many many waves of HBO's internal stuff to punish them for playing us and set an example of greedy corporation," they announced.
