The draft script for the new James Bond film, “Spectre” was stolen by cybercriminals in the last attack he received Sony Pictures.

LONDON A draft script of the film “Spectre” the next James Bond, was stolen during the great cyber attack against Sony Pictures, said Sunday the producers of the film.

“Preliminary Version Writing the new Bond, Spectre, is among the material stolen and illegally released by pirates who infiltrated the computer system of Sony Pictures, “said Eon Productions, the British company that produces the films of James Bond, in a statement.

Eon Productions recalled that this script is protected by copyright, and warned that “all necessary measures” in the event of improper use of the document will be taken.

Sony Pictures acknowledged that was recently the victim of a “very important confidential information” robo, which some experts attributed to “hackers” North Koreans.

Because of this massive act of piracy, five films of the study were posted online and stole personal data, including addresses and Social Security numbers of 47,000 employees and others from Sony Pictures.

The Eon Productions announcement came shortly after after the presentation of the cast of “Spectre”, which promises a return to the sources of intrigue invented by Ian Fleming.

Daniel Craig, alias 007, will face Austrian Christoph Waltz there on the adventures enhanced by the beauty of the French Léa Seydoux and Italian Monica Bellucci.
