The hackers who have broken into HBO’s security systems have leaked new information, but this time around they are not captures from Game of Thrones’ unreleased episodes, writes Reuters.

The cyber criminals have released a series of episodes from the Curb Your Enthusiasm TV series, which is scheduled to air the new season in October.

Also, new episodes from Insecure, Ballers and The Deuce were also leaked, according to the Associated Press.

Previously, Reuters wrote that HBO had sent an email to the authors of the cyber-attack, offering to pay up $250.000 in Bitcoin as an attempt to extend the payment for the initial deadline.

Their offer was not very attractive and, after a while, the “Game of Thrones” episodes also ended up on the internet.

Later, the company officials announced that it was a tactic to gain more time.

HBO is part of Time Warner, the world’s second-largest production company after Disney.

Time Warner owns CNN and DC Comics – the creator of the famous comic strip and super heroes movies Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.

Breaking into HBO’s networks comes during a fragile period for Time Warner, with the media conglomerate being in the process of becoming a part of the AT & T group for $85 billion.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump has opposed the acquisition due to his animosities with CNN’s news stance.
