THE ATTACK AND THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY
The famous Plastic Surgery Clinic in London for celebrities was a target of this group, and hackers claim that they have footage of members of the British royal family.

- We have taken all precautions to immediately block the attack in order to protect patient information, and we also informed the Metropolitan Police that launched the investigation - according to the statement of this respectable clinic, and further information:
- Unfortunately, after careful examination of our IT experts and police, we believe that our safety was violated and that the data has been stolen. We are still determining which data was stolen.
CYBER ATTACK ON HOLLYWOOD AND NETFLIX
Rumors about the massive leakage of unedited Hollywood movies and series have been circulating for months until this cyber group responded.
The hacker's attack began with the release of several premier episodes of Netflix's "Orange is the New Black" series on the Internet and a notice that they have downloaded 37 more titles that are yet to be broadcast. As Netflix declined to pay for hackers, the latest episodes appeared on The Pirate Bay file sharing site. They are new episodes of "Celebrity Apprentice", "New Girl", "NCIS: Los Angeles", "The Catch", "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"...
Hackers also issued an official press release in which, among other things, they state:
- It did not have to be this way, Netflix. You will lose a lot more money in all of this than what our modest offer was. We are ashamed of breathing the same air as you. We thought that pragmatic business would see and understand the benefits of cooperation with a rational and merciful minority, as we are. And to others: there is still time to be saved. Our offer is still on the table - for the time being - in the statement of the "Dark Overlord".
As the FBI's investigation revealed, hackers asked 50.000 dollars in Bitcoins from the production house Larson.
The hacker group, with the man from Belgrade as its member, works on advanced versions of Windows 7, and they breached the computer protections with no problems when an older laptop or a computer appeared in Larson Studios where they discovered and downloaded still unedited episodes of the most famous American series.
FBI, with the local police, as the case was with the Ministry of Internal affairs of Serbia, arrested several hackers. However, it remains a mystery who "The Dark Overlord" is. It is still not clear of there is a leader of the hacker group, or if they work together or individually in the same group.
