Hackers have stolen the copy of Disney's Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and are now asking for an exorbitant sum in exchange of not releasing a pirated version of the film. The crime was committed on Tuedsday by the hackers, who have a ransomware called WannaCry, launching a worldwide attack on the internet.
The producers of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion encountered similar hackers in the past but were fortunate enough as the criminals were caught. As per MidDay's report, 6 people were arrested by the Hyderabad police, one of whom owned a theatre in Bihar, for attempting to illegally circulate a pirated version of the movie and demanding Rs 15 lakhs in exchange of not doing so. Further, they stated a number of gangs have been releasing pirated versions of several Bollywood movies.
