Disney chief Bob Iger has revealed the company is being held for ransom by hackers threatening to leak an unreleased movie.

Mr Iger said on Monday the hackers demanded a "huge sum" to be paid in Bitcoin, or they will release parts of the movie, minutes at a time, until the money comes through.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Disney has refused to pay the ransom and is working with federal agents to monitor any online leak.

How ridiculous. Criminals are always looking for a new and better way to scam people-but holding movies and tv shows for ransom? That's just silly. Of course, if the fans didn't place so much importance on these movies and shows in the first place this probably wouldn't even be an issue. Don't cave Disney, I'm sure people would rather see the entire movie in a theater as opposed to little snippets here and there, and if these people are lucky they might be able to see it from the activity room in prison.;)

Disney should be paying them Rover keep the film hidden after the abysmalness that was the last couple of PotC films.
