There may be trouble ahead for the revolutionary service Netflix if it doesn’t agree to demands set by a hacker who claims to have stolen the latest season of ‘Orange is the new Black‘!
Operating under the name The Dark Overlord, the hacker has asked for an unspecified amount from the company and has already uploaded the first episode of ‘Orange’s new season on an illegal file-sharing site.
Netflix said that a small production vendor that works with several major TV studios had suffered a breach. The Los Gatos, Calif., company described it as an “active situation” that’s being investigated by the FBI and other authorities.
In the ransom note, The Dark Overlord claimed to have stolen series from other studios, too, by breaking into a single company. The purported hacker promised to also release those titles unless “modest” ransoms are paid.
When the AP contacted The Dark Overlord in February, the hacker said the purloined video wouldn’t be made publicly available after all, making the far-fetched claim that “no one really [cares] about unreleased movies and TV show episodes.”
Why Netflix and ‘Orange’?
‘Orange’ is a Netflix original series and can only be viewed by TV lovers who pay to subscribe to the show and service. If placed online, Netflix’s profit-pushing unique selling point comes under threat.

It’s not like Netflix is going to lose subscribers over this. The only thing they have to worry about is people being able to watch it who don’t subscribe to their service and some people watching it early. It’s not much of a bad thing. Not too many people care that much and OITNB has a pretty loyal following so I’m sure that many of those who are waiting for it to drop on Netflix will still watch it when it airs on Netflix. I say let the FBI find who these bozos are and sue them, get your coin and they’ll be spending the rest of their lives paying it back for being thirsty idiots.
I would care if I watched this show. I’d rather Netflix focus their efforts on getting more Marvel shows out at a faster pace.
