The End Of Suspense? HBO Hackers Leak 'Game Of Thrones' Season 7 Climax

The cyber criminals have done something we all dreaded. In another huge jolt to GoT fans, HBO hackers have allegedly leaked the climax of the season finale, butchering all the pent up suspense.

According to reports, the group identifying themselves as 'Mr Smith,' stole and released approximately 1.5 terabytes of data from HBO in what they're referring to as a sixth wave of leaks. It has all confidential plot summaries and details of how the season will end.

According to a report in The Independent, ¡°a detailed outline of every episode in season 7 include the finale, intended for internal use and dated April 2016 was posted on Reddit¡¯s Game of Thrones spoilers-dedicated subreddit, Freefolk, apparently originating from the HBO hack.¡±

In response to this, 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.

"By the way, we officially inform you and other hundreds of reporters whom we are emailing that we sold 'HBO IS FALLING' entire collection (5 TB) to three customers in deep web and we earned half of the requested ransom," the hackers said.

"We put a condition for our respected customers and they approved. We will leak many many waves of HBO's internal stuff to punish them for playing us and set an example of greedy corporation."

And thus comes the end of Game of Thrones Season 7, until next year. Thank you, hackers, for ruining all the entire season so royally for the whole world!
