It seems a serious attempt from HBO’s side for the damage control. According to Variety.com, “You have the advantage of having surprised us,” the message reads. “In the spirit of professional cooperation, we are asking you to extend your deadline for one week.”
Addition to that, the Hacker in his video letter said ‘The $250,000 sum is also well short of the “six months salary” who claims to make $12 million to $15 million per year.
HBO declined to comment on the whole issue.
On the other, Variety has mentioned in their post that ‘they have decided not to publish the name or email address of the HBO executive from which the message was sent.”
