An ex-military man from Iran hacked HBO to rip off confidential files, including scripts and plot summaries from “Game of Thrones” — then taunted the company with shameless threats that included a picture of one of the show’s villains, Manhattan federal prosecutors announced Tuesday.

Behzad Mesri, who went by the online hacker pseudonym “Skote Vahshat,” also stole episodes of “The Deuce” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” as well as emails belonging to one employee and financial documents, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday. In exchange, he requested $6 million in bitcoin, according to the complaint, released Tuesday.

“Hi to All losers! Yes, it’s true. HBO is hacked!,” read one email the feds say Mesri sent to HBO personnel in July.

The indictment was unsealed following a Washington Post report that senior Justice Department officials have been pushing for Iran-related cases in a possible bid by the Trump Administration to pressure Congress to impose new sanctions on Iran.

Mesri, who is not in US custody, is alleged to have acted alone in this case.

Still, Acting Manhattan US Attorney Joon Kim blasted the Iranian government for training him and using him in other state-sponsored hacking missions.

“Today’s charges make clear that nation states like Iran routinely employ criminals, mercenaries, like Mesri, to conduct network attacks on America and elsewhere,” Kim said at a press conference.

“In this instance he applied those skills that he learned (from the Iranian military) against HBO for personal profit,” Kim said.
Mesri, 29, was charged with seven counts, including multiple counts of computer fraud, wire fraud and identity theft.

In one email, Mesri made told HBO officials that he had full scripts and cast lists for the seventh series of “Game of Thrones” — only two of which had been broadcast, the feds said.

He signed off on that email with a picture of the “Night King,” a villain from the “Game of Thrones” series, and demanded $5.5 million worth of bitcoin, the feds said. Later, he upped the amount of the extortion request to $6 million bitcoin, they alleged.

A spokesman for HBO declined to comment.

“HBO has confirmed in the past that we were working with law enforcement from the early stages of the cyber incident,” the company said in an emailed statement. “As far as the criminal case is concerned, we prefer to leave any comments to the US Attorney’s Office.”
