The hackers, who broke into HBO's computer
network and have released stolen information for several weeks,
provided more unaired episodes, including the popular show "Curb
Your Enthusiasm, " which returns in October.
They also leaked episodes of "Insecure," "Ballers" and "The
Deuce," according to the Associated Press.
Time Warner Inc's <TWX.N> HBO said Sunday in an emailed
statement that it was "not in communication with the hacker, and
we're not going to comment every time a new piece of information
is released."
"It has been widely reported that there was a cyber incident at
HBO," it said. "The hacker 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 acknowledged the hack earlier this summer. It said the
thieves had been leaking stolen materials and asking for a
multi-million-dollar ransom.
The hack came at a sensitive time for HBO parent Time Warner as
it awaits regulatory approval to sell itself to AT&T Inc <T.N>
in a $85.4 billion deal announced in October.
