Rotten news for Netflix…

An anonymous hacker has followed through on a threat to release the latest series of Netflix’s show, Orange is the New Black online, after the streaming site failed to respond to hacker’s demands.

The hacking group claimed responsibility for the leaks and claimed that there are more leaks to come as they also have shows belonging to other networks.

The hacker, who goes by the name TheDarkOverlord, claimed responsibility for the leak and spoke to Torrent Freak.

According to TorrentFreak: “In information sent to TF, the group says that sometime during the closing months of 2016, it gained access to the systems of Larson Studios, an ADR (additional dialogue recorded) studio, based in Hollywood.

“‘After we had a copy of their data safely in our possession, we asked that we be paid a small fee in exchange for non-disclosure. We approached them on the Eve of their Christmas,’ a member of the group previously told us over an encrypted channel.”

The first episode of the Netflix original series was leaked on Friday with five more episodes of the series leaked on Saturday.

The series is set for release on Netflix on June 9, but it’s rumoured that Netflix may move this date closer following the leak of the majority of episodes online.
