Game of Thrones Hack Tedx in Aftermath of High-Profile ‘Game of Thrones’ Hack, a Chance to Raise Global Cyber Standards game of thrones hack tedx In aftermath of high-profile ‘Game of Thrones’ hack, a chance to raise global cyber standards. The name of the song playing is “The Light of the Seven.” It’s a haunting, evocative piece from a penultimate scene in last season’s final episode of Game of Thrones, beginning with delicate, well-timed notes from a piano. It is a masterpiece of tension, fear and ultimately fury. It was also a good choice for the hackers. The cellos come in less than a minute later, ominous, a portent of something sinister to come. When the children’s chorus comes in, alight with orchestral violins and pipe organs, the voices are a stark counterpoint to the building violence on screen that ends in a crescendo of green fire enveloping the pompous, religious enemies of the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, Cersei Lannister. Hackers who stole key pieces of some of HBO’s crown jewel properties used that musical score for dramatic effect just weeks ago as they detailed their demands over a roughly five-minute video, using Game of Thrones – one of the most popular shows on the planet – as leverage. To view the video, please click here. To read an ACFCS sidebar piece to this story covering cyber countermeasures, please click here. “We confess that HBO was one of our difficult targets to deal with but we succeeded. (It took about 6 months),” according to the video obtained by Mashable. “Also, we obtained full scripts and cast list of your (and our) very popular TV series; Game of Thrones S7.” In the latest HBO hack, the group is requesting a ransom of an implied $6 million to $7.5 million, or as the note calls their “six-month salary in Bitcoin,” or else the dark net denizens would release the full 1.5 terabytes of data. But HBO apparently had full episodes and seasons (the series is currently a few episodes into season seven) in a more secure location. The series, as the namesake implies, chronicles the efforts of several houses to take control of the Iron Throne, adapted from a storied book series by George R.R. Martin. “You concealed GOT7 very carefully so we can't find it due to lack of time although we are so close,” the group stated in the video. “Instead, we produced some tiny mini-series of GOT 7 for you which be able to shock the entire world. What we got from GOT 7 not only put an end to fate of this season but also corrupts your idea and efforts to season 8.” The hack follows similar breaches of Netflix, Sony, ICM, WME, UTA and a production company that affected content from ABC, NBC, FX and Disney. Hackers in recent years have also punctured many of the country’s largest banks, retailers, healthcare firms and even a site with data on U.S. government personnel. But if there is a bright spot in a hack that could hurt such a beloved franchise, cybersecurity experts say the breach could be used as a teaching tool. It may help governments, organizations and individuals to realize that cybercriminals see data of all kinds as potentially even more valuable than standard credit and debit card information – leading to stronger global cyber defenses. “We have vulnerabilities in the U.S. and people don’t realize that because we are so gullible,” said John Walsh, Chief Executive of SightSpan, a global risk management firm. “The government worries about attacks on nuclear power plants or the electric grid, but those are relatively safe. China, however, as just one example, is invading every day, hacking into engineering firms, law firms and accounting firms and, yes, entertainment business as well.” Hopefully getting governments, companies and even individuals to think about their own cyber safety as a result of the hack will help them also come to a profound but sobering realization. “This is a new kind of war and we are at war right now,” Walsh said. “Data right now is more valuable than money because, if done right, hackers can use it again and again.” That would be an interesting turnabout on the axiom of fact informing fiction. In this case, an online assault by virtual world brigands against a fantasy kingdom could potentially lead to better cyber swords and shields in the real world. AML rules creating ransom payment challenges? The unknown cyber gang behind the HBO hack seems to unintentionally mention how stronger anti-money laundering (AML) rules being implemented by banks globally are making it harder for them to find institutions and virtual currency exchanges that will handle the Bitcoin ransom demand. “Do the bitcoin job quick,” the group says. “Some banks in USA have problems in exchanging bitcoin and caused trouble in past. We don't accept sentences like: we want to pay but banks are lazy and don't cooperate. Its your problem. Give some bucks, they do like slaves.” The HBO hack “underscores the vulnerability of companies large and small, particularly hackers targeting and obtaining high value content,” said Joseph DeMarco, a partner at New York-based DeVore & DeMarco and the former Assistant US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, heading the computer hacking program. “And that high value content can come from an entertainment company or a bank or a healthcare provider,” he said. “The fact of the matter is that information has value and people are out there looking for ways to steal it,” DeMarco said. “All companies need to have robust data security, good access controls, encryption and employ the most sophisticated countermeasures for protecting the crown jewel intellectual properties in the best way possible.” Such measures are required for persistent and determined hackers. For instance, the hacking group tied to the HBO breach claimed they do two operations a year, netting as much as $15 million in total and that HBO marks their 17th target. Only three have failed to pay and “were punished very badly and 2 of them collapse entirely.” Even so, while the group is doing its best to be menacing and demands to be taken seriously, the scrolling text in the video is filled with atrocious spelling and grammatical errors, meaning the group is clearly foreign, from hacker nests in likely locales including Russia, China or Eastern Europe – the usual suspects. Winter is coming – for HBO. The breach allegedly includes a veritable cornucopia of proprietary loot, including future episodes and scripts of the epic fantasy phenomenon, along with what the various actors get paid and even their phone numbers – something leaked a few days ago as proof of the digital haul. While the video yields few clues about how the group got in to HBO, it mentions in passing that the group pays $500,000 annually for the use of “zero day exploits,” a term describing an unknown or undisclosed software vulnerability that hackers can exploit to breach computer programs, steal data, or use malware to infect additional computers or an entire network. The video ends with a look at two potential futures for HBO, and a warning seemingly straight from the mouth of one of the show’s most popular dark and brooding characters. “Winter is coming – HBO is falling,” or “Winter is Coming – HBO is standing & Everlasting,” the hackers stated in the video, a nod to the current King of the North of House Winterfell, Jon Snow – or Stark or Targaryen – depending on how far you are in the books or show. And as in Game of Thrones, having a battle-ready mindset can help companies realize attacks with virtual flaming arrows can come from anywhere and at any time, meaning operations must better segment their data so only individuals with the highest clearances can access the most valuable or sensitive data. “In the show, the Lannisters are the most cunning house,” Walsh said. “Companies need to realize hackers are just like that. Whatever weaknesses you have, they will exploit them. And anyone can be a target. Sometimes hackers will just get into a place just to see if they can. Don’t look for logical answers when it comes to hacking because some attacks are done as a source of pride.” In an ironic twist, the hackers are clearly fans of the show, expressing little to no enmity or vitriol toward HBO. That is a departure from previous hacks against media and technology companies. The hack of Sony, for instance, allegedly done by North Korea, was widely believed to be in response to a movie called “The Interview” deriding and satirizing the country’s leader, an affront the rogue regime could not endure. The main reason for the hack: “Our motives isn't political nor financial,” the group said. “(Even we hate trump like other Americans do) Its like a game for us, we enjoy to get data. Money isn't our main purpose,” according to the group. Going further, the note evinces the delusions of grandeur common to hackers with self-inflated views of themselves. In some instances, the group asks to be “partners” in global distribution of HBO shows and that the entire hack is something cable executives should be thanking them for as helpful “penetration testing” and publicity at a fraction of their normal advertising budget. “We don't want to endanger HBO's situation nor causing to lose its reputation,” the hacker collective said. “We want to be your partner in a tiny part of HBO's huge income. HBO spends 12 million in 2017 for Market Research and 5 million for GOT7 advertisements.

  • Curb Your Enthusiasm,” Ed Asner Walks Into His New Lawyer’S Office to Discuss His Vast Estate When the Lawyer Greets Him, Iwarmly, Wearing Jeans and a Polo Shirt
    APPEARANCES DO MATTER By David S. Wolf n a very funny scene from Larry David’s HBO comedy series “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” Ed Asner walks into his new lawyer’s office to discuss his vast estate when the lawyer greets him, Iwarmly, wearing jeans and a polo shirt. Asner’s character is taken aback by the lawyer’s outfit, asking if he is going to a “Halloween party.” The lawyer attempts to put Asner at ease, advising him that it is “casual Friday.” Asner responds by telling the lawyer that he looks like a “f—cowboy.” The lawyer’s efforts to put the prospective client at ease, assuring him that his estate would not be handled “casually,” fall on deaf ears, and Asner, outraged, leaves in a huff, large retainer in hand.

  • Hbo Premieres All New Series Girls and Veep
    HBO PREMIERES ALL NEW SERIES GIRLS AND VEEP  Miami, July 9, 2012 – HBO Latin America announced that Girls and Veep, two new original comedies, will premiere on July 23. The first episode of both productions will be available on www.hbomax.tv after they air onscreen. Girls is a comedy directed by Lena Dunham, the up-and-coming filmmaker and actor, who also stars in the series. Veep stars Emmy®-award-winning actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who has starred in popular series like Seinfield and Curb your Enthusiasm.  Created and led onscreen by Lena Dunham, Girls takes a comic look at the assorted humiliations and rare triumphs of a group of women in their early 20s living in New York City. The series, which has already been renewed for a second season, focuses on the girls’ adventures in post-collegiate floundering.  A fresh and intimate look at friendship, relationships and self-discovery, Girls is a contemporary coming-of-age show that packs humor, farce and poignancy into each episode. Through four distinct characters, who may seem unlikely friends to some, Girls shines through as a voice of the post-recession generation who can hardly afford lunch, let alone Manolos. In addition to Lena Dunham as the anxious, rumpled Hannah, the cast of Girls includes Jemima Kirke as the beautiful Jessa, allergic to all things bourgeois; Allison Williams as Marnie, Hannah’s uptight roommate with strict rules about their best-friendship; Zosia Mamet (Mad Men) as Shoshanna, an NYU student and Jessa’s self-help obsessed roommate and cousin; and Adam Driver (HBO’s You Don’t know Jack) As Hannah’s love interest, Adam.

  • Contentious Comedy
    1 Contentious Comedy: Negotiating Issues of Form, Content, and Representation in American Sitcoms of the Post-Network Era Thesis by Lisa E. Williamson Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Glasgow Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies 2008 (Submitted May 2008) © Lisa E. Williamson 2008 2 Abstract Contentious Comedy: Negotiating Issues of Form, Content, and Representation in American Sitcoms of the Post-Network Era This thesis explores the way in which the institutional changes that have occurred within the post-network era of American television have impacted on the situation comedy in terms of form, content, and representation. This thesis argues that as one of television’s most durable genres, the sitcom must be understood as a dynamic form that develops over time in response to changing social, cultural, and institutional circumstances. By providing detailed case studies of the sitcom output of competing broadcast, pay-cable, and niche networks, this research provides an examination of the form that takes into account both the historical context in which it is situated as well as the processes and practices that are unique to television. In addition to drawing on existing academic theory, the primary sources utilised within this thesis include journalistic articles, interviews, and critical reviews, as well as supplementary materials such as DVD commentaries and programme websites. This is presented in conjunction with a comprehensive analysis of the textual features of a number of individual programmes. By providing an examination of the various production and scheduling strategies that have been implemented within the post-network era, this research considers how differentiation has become key within the multichannel marketplace.

Likewise, all the episodes of the season will have a premiere on HBO GO, before the weekly programming on the channel. Created by Mark and Jay Duplass ( “Animals.” and “Togetherness”), the late-night, half-hour anthology series returns with 12 new episodes, each telling a unique and unexpected tale of the characters who pass through a single room of a typical American chain motel. While the setting stays the same, every episode of the series features a different story, with the tone, plot, characters, and even the time period, changing with each installment. Exploring a variety of genres, from dark comedy to sci-fi, to the series’ first ever animated episode and original songs, this season will continue to surprise viewers week to week. The premiere episode will be the first time in the series that Mark Duplass stars, writes, directs and performs original music. Stories and characters featured in season four include: an estranged performer giving a one-night-only performance; a woman battling her dark past with addiction; a dollhouse; transporting back in time; and more. Providing one last glimpse into the lives of the guests in ROOM 104, the final season of the genre bending, and risk-taking anthology proves to be another showcase of writing, performing and directing.

HRISHI: Well, we're done with season six and as a result, we're done with Vice President Bob Russell. That was his last episode last episode. JOSH: That's right. But before we start season seven, we've got a bonus episode and we could think of no better way to honor Bingo Bob, and one of our other favorite shows about politics, than with a special episode on Veep with special guests Gary Cole who played VP Russell, of course, as well as Kent Davison on Veep and Veep's show runner: Dave Mandel. HRISHI: Veep is an amazing show and you should all be watching it or you should be done watching it now that the series is wrapped. If you don't know Veep has been nominated for a total of 59 Emmys and it won 17 of them. It just ended this past May and like The West Wing, it's going to be missed.
