SAN FRANCISCO—A hacker claims to have stolen the upcoming season of Netflix’s hit series Orange Is The New Black, and is asking for an unspecified ransom to not release the entire fifth season online. The hacker, who goes by the name The Dark Overlord, has already purportedly uploaded the first episode to an illegal file-sharing service. New episodes of Orange are scheduled for official release on June 9. Netflix said that a small production vendor that works with several major TV studios had suffered a breach. Pirated copies of Orange could dent Netflix’s subscriber growth.
