It’s been a rough few weeks for HBO: Not one, but two unreleased episodes of its hit show Game of Thrones have been leaked online ahead of schedule, and hackers are claiming to hold massive amounts of the company’s data for ransom. And on Wednesday night, a group of hackers temporarily took over various HBO Twitter accounts.

Along with the main @HBO account, pages for several of the company’s series — including Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, True Blood, Veep, and Vinyl — sent out messages purporting to be from known hackers, reports NBC News.
