Earlier this month, media outlets all over the world reported that hackers allegedly obtained a copy of a new series of "Pirates of the Caribbean Sea" called "Dead Men Do not Tell Tales" before the start of the rental and asked the Disney studio for a ransom, promising, if their demands were not met, to publish the film On the Internet before the premiere. And although Disney refused to pay and applied to the FBI, there was no leakage, and the day before the film was shown in the theaters, Robert Wenger, president and CEO of The Walt Disney Company, told Yahoo Finance that there was no break-in.

"As far as we know, we were not hacked, although they threatened to steal the film. We decided to take it seriously, but do not react in the way that someone who threatened us should have, "Iger said..

At the same time, he added that he does not consider these threats real, but he acknowledged that the issue of cybersecurity is now in the forefront.

It should be noted that previously Netflix was subjected to similar blackmail. True, it ended with the fact that the hacker posted on the torrent tracker The Pirate Bay ten of the thirteen episodes of the still not released season of the series "Orange Is the New Black" after the Internet cinema refused to make a deal with him.
