[Dr. Haxx]

[QUOTE]Federal authorities have charged an Iranian who has ties to his country's military with hacking into HBO's computer system, stealing unaired episodes of hit shows and demanding millions in Bitcoin as ransom.[/QUOTE]

According to an indictment filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan:
[QUOTE]Behzad Mesri is a member of the Turk Black Hat Security hacking team and has worked for the Iranian military on computer attacks against Israel.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE] In July, he began sending taunting emails to HBO executives, using "Game of Thrones" imagery and slogans, prosecutors said.

"Hi to all losers!" one said.
"Yes it's true! HBO is hacked...
Beware of heart attacks." [/QUOTE]
