The hackers told TheWrap they released the new season of “Orange Is the New Black” a month early because their “Client,” family-owned post-production company Larson Studios, violated the agreement by contacting the FBI and police.

“We found Larson Studios was in great delinquency of the agreement after sources confirmed law enforcement cooperation,” the hackers told TheWrap, via an online encrypted messaging service.

Despite Dark Overlord’s insistence its victims keep quiet, security experts recommend reporting hacks to law enforcement.
