Netflix is being sued by production company Op-Fortitude after an unencrypted drive containing the unreleased Nicolas Cage film Fortitude was stolen from its offices. The financier behind the $45M movie is seeking at least $112.5M in damages, alleging Netflix failed to implement basic security measures and delayed notifying them of the theft for a week.
Background
Netflix routinely receives physical media from production companies for screening and distribution purposes, making such incidents a rare but notable breach of trust in the streaming industry.
