"HBO recently experienced a cyber incident, which resulted in the compromise of proprietary information," Sky News quoted HBO as saying late on Monday.
"We immediately began investigating the incident and are working with law enforcement and outside cybersecurity firms. Data protection is a top priority at HBO and we take seriously our responsibility to protect the data we hold," HBO added in a statement.
According to the Telegraph, hackers claimed to have stolen 1.5TB of data, including the script for Season 7 Episode 4 of 'GoT' as well as unreleased episodes of 'Ballers' and 'Room 104' -- two of HBO's other shows.
There are four remaining episodes in "Game of Thrones" Season 7, with the finale scheduled on August 27.
In an email sent to Entertainment Weekly, the hackers said: "Hi to all mankind. The greatest leak of cyber space era is happening. What's its name? Oh I forget to tell. Its HBO and Game of Thrones??!!!!!!."
"You are lucky to be the first pioneers to witness and download the leak. Enjoy it & spread the words. Whoever spreads well, we will have an interview with him. HBO is falling," the email further read.
