“The hacker may continue to drop bits and pieces of stolen information in an attempt to generate media attention,” HBO told Mashable in a statement. “That’s a game we’re not going to participate in,” the firm added.

According to Mashable’s report the group has demanded approximately $6.5 million worth of Bitcoin from HBO.

“By the way, we officially inform you and other hundred of reporters whom emailing us that we sold 'HBO IS FALLING's entire collection (5 TB!!!) to 3 customer in deep web and we earned half of requested ransom," the hackers told Mashable. "We put a condition for our respected customers and they approved. We will leak many many waves of HBO's internal stuff to punish them for playing us and set an example of greedy corporation.”
