Game of Thrones farewell

Leaks, leaks and more leaks.

According to The Verge, HBO hackers have reportedly released several phone numbers and home addresses belonging to some of the cast from Game of Thrones.

The pieces of information were released online and according to reports, hackers broke into the network’s servers and stole up to 1.5 terabytes of data including draft scripts from Game of Thrones’ seventh season.

Cast members who have reportedly had their information leaked are Emilia Clarke, Lena Headey, Peter Dinklage and Kit Harington.

The television network is in the middle of reviewing exactly how much and what exact data has been leaked and for the time being, a spokesperson for HBO believes that there is no reason to believe that their whole system has been stolen.

Despite this, there have been several reports that the hackers have as much as 3.45GB of data and are holding it back from release in an effort to hold HBO at ransom.

The news comes just over a week after the fourth Game of Thrones episode was leaked on air days ahead of its proper release.
