Initially reported last week, the attack against HBO was reportedly massive, potentially compromising thousands of documents.
A leaked email has revealed that HBO has offered to pay a $250,000 ransom fee to the hackers responsible for a massive data breach recently carried out against the cable giant.
A source close to the investigation suggests the email was a stalling tactic so HBO can figure out just how serious the situation is.
All we know for sure at this point is HBO is taking the situation seriously and is attempting to mitigate their exposure to a potentially devastating breach.
