Westworld has joined the list of shows affected by the HBO hack.

The network has been the subject of a cyber attack since last month with recent activity from the hackers including a Game of Thrones episode synopsis being leaked.

Now, according to The Wrap, the hackers have released documents about the shoot for Westworld season two, alongside scripts for unaired episodes of Divorce and Vice Principals, as part of their "fourth wave".

HBO responded by referring to the earlier statement that it released after new episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm's ninth season were leaked online ahead of time.

"We are not in communication with the hacker and we're not going to comment every time a new piece of information is released," the statement read.

"It has been widely reported that there was a cyber incident at HBO. The hacker may continue to drop bits and pieces of stolen information in an attempt to generate media attention. That's a game we're not going to participate in."

And if it's not this particular hack, HBO's social media accounts were also seemingly accessed by cyber collective OurMine.

"Hi, OurMine are here, we are just testing your security, HBO team please contact us to upgrade the security," read one tweet put out by the security breachers, which was later deleted from HBO's social feeds.

This week also saw the upcoming sixth episode of Game of Thrones season seven leaked online after HBO Spain and HBO Nordic accidentally broadcast it early.
