In the last month I have told you about the hacking exploits of a group of hackers who call themselves thedarkoverlord.  In May, nine episodes of the popular Netflix original series, “Orange is the New Black” were posted by them on a publicly available file when their extortion attempt failed. They also claimed to have stolen the most recent  sequel in the successful Pirates of the Caribbean movie series, but this turned out to be a hoax. This type of extortion can only be expected to grow as hackers attack the weakest links in movie and television program development.  In the case of Orange is the New Black and other television shows, the weakest link was a post production studio, Larson Studios.
Now they have released eight episodes of what they say are stolen episodes of the new Steve Harvey show “Steve Harvey’s Funderdome” which will be premiering on ABC on June 11th.
TIPS
If a bootleg movie or television show is posted online I strongly urge you not to download it.  In addition to the morality and ethics of not participating and encouraging this type of crime, you also run the risk of downloading various types of malware including ransomware and keystroke logging malware that can lead to your becoming a victim of identity theft if you go to the rogue websites where you can find this material.
