The American television network HBO is grappling with the consequences of a cyber attack, in which apparently material from at least one episode of the Games of Thrones was also stolen. The company's announcement: "We began to investigate the case immediately"

After Netflix and Sony, HBO was also the victim of a cyber attack: In an anonymous email to foreign news websites on Sunday, it was claimed that 1.5 terabytes of files had been stolen from hackers by hackers, Of the "Throne Games" - the fourth episode of the seventh season, due to be broadcast next week, in HBO confirming that a breakthrough had indeed been made, but did not specify its exact size.

The hackers promised that more materials "will arrive soon." Of HBO called the event a "cyber incident," saying "we've started investigating the case right away, and we're working with lawyers and information security experts."

HBO has about 127 million subscribers in more than 150 countries worldwide. From her studio came popular series such as "Sex and the City", "Sopranos", "The Seagull", and is considered a quality standard.
