Hacker ‘Dark Overlord’ is Demanding a Ransom for Stolen ‘Orange Is the New Black’ Season 4 Episodes

Date:

The new season of Orange is the New Black is set to premiere in June however if this hacker gets his way, then we may be able to see what happens next far sooner than anyone expected.

According to reports, hacker claims as stolen the upcoming season of Orange is the New Black and is threatening to release the episodes online, unless Netflix pays a ransom.

In a statement provided to TheWrap, Netflix revealed that they are aware of the situation and apparently a productive vendor used by several major studios had a security compromised.

The hacker used the alias “The Dark Overlord” and issued a ransom note in which he claims to have stolen cells from other studios, according to the AP.  The hackers are reportedly demanding an unspecified ransom for all of those shows as well. Also, the first episode of the new Orange is the New Black has already been uploaded online.

The new season of Orange is the New Black is supposed to premiere on June 9.

Orange Is the New Black centers around Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), a bisexual woman living in New York City who is sentenced to 15 months in a women’s federal prison, for transporting a suitcase full of drug money to her former girlfriend Alex Vause (Laura Prepon) who is an international drug smuggler/mule. The offense occurred ten years prior to the start of the series, and in that time Piper had moved on to a quiet, law-abiding life among New York’s upper middle class. In prison, Piper is reunited with Alex (who named Piper in her trial resulting in her arrest), and they re-examine their relationship and deal with their fellow prisoners.
