HBO Reportedly Offered Hackers $250000 'Bug Bounty Payment'

August 12, 2017 04:42· HBO Hack Game of Thrones Stars Phone Numbers Email Addresses Leaked Report

It would appear that after an anonymous hacker got their hands on a massive amount of HBO data, including upcoming episodes of popular shows, HBO offered them a "bounty payment".

"You have the advantage of having surprised us", reads the email, which Variety said was sent by an HBO technology team member on July 27.

Panthers rookie RB Christian McCaffrey has promising National Football League preseason debut
Carolina running back Christian McCaffrey picked up 33 yards on seven carries during his professional debut Wednesday night. Long-distance accuracy was a problem for Gano last season when he missed three of his six attempts from 50 yards or longer.

Surprisingly, HBO's message to the online thief was not confrontational or angry but rather calm and a source close to the investigation said that it was worded in such a way so that the television company could stall for time to assess the situation.

"We also have not been able to put into place the necessary infrastructure to be able to make a large payment in bitcoin, although we are taking steps to do so as you suggested", HBO exec's email.

The hackers' ransom demand is "six months salary worth in bitcoin", which given their claim of $12 million (roughly Rs. 76.5 crores) annually, comes to about $6 million (roughly Rs. 38.2 crores). The stalling tactic apparently didn't work, though. A few days ago, a report said the hackers asked HBO to pay millions in bitcoins to avoid further leaks.
