Hacker claims to have unreleased episodes of 'Orange Is the New Black', demands ransom from Netflix
A hacker who goes by the name 'The Dark Overlord' claims to have hacked and currently has the unreleased 5th season of Netflix series, Orange Is the new black and he's demanding that the video streaming service pay an unspecified ransom to prevent all the new episodes from being prematurely released online.
The new episodes of the series are scheduled for official release on June 9, 2017 and Netflix has confirmed said that a small production vendor that works with several major TV studios had suffered a breach. The Los Gatos, California, company described it as an "active situation" that's being
investigated by the FBI and other authorities.
In the ransom note, The Dark Overlord claimed to have stolen series from other studios, too, by breaking into a single company. The purported hacker promised to also release those titles unless "modest" ransoms are paid.
