In a previous article, I mentioned how The upcoming Disney film starring Johnny Depp, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales has been stolen by hackers who are asking for ransom. However, in a recent update, Disney CEO Bob Iger stated that the Studio believes the claims were false.
In an interview with Yahoo Finance, Iger addresses the issue in detail.
To our knowledge, we were not hacked, we had a threat of a hack of a movie being stolen. We decided to take it seriously but not react in the manner in which the person who was threatening us had required. We don’t believe that it was real and nothing has happened.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (Salazar’s Revenge in Malaysia) is out in Malaysian cinemas right now.
