With the torrent appearing the same day as Handsome appears on Netflix, the damage done is minimal when compared to the impact of releasing Season 5 of Orange Is The New Black nearly an entire month ahead of its scheduled release.
As Variety reports, Handsome was uploaded to the torrenting site The Pirate Bay the same day Netflix released the original film.
While money was clearly stated as the motivation behind the first attack on Netflix, it’s unclear exactly TheDarkOverlord’s motivation is for this latest hack.
So if hurting Netflix isn’t the motivation, what’s the play this time around?
