A hacker, who has already released the season premiere of hit Netflix series, “Orange Is The New Black” a month-and-a-half early, is now warning the online movie streaming service to pay a ransom or risk the release of the entire fifth season.
It is unknown how much hacker, The Dark Overlord, is requesting Netflix pay, and the veracity of claims he in-fact possesses season 5 of the popular jailhouse show can not be confirmed, however, Netflix did admit 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.
Pirated copies of “OITNB” could put a huge dent Netflix’s bottom line as well as negatively affecting subscriber growth.
New episodes of “OITNB” are scheduled for official release on June 9.
