Sunday’s upcoming fourth episode of Game of Thrones, “Spoils of War,” has apparently leaked this morning. The source of the leak, according to The Verge, is HBO’s distribution partner, Star India, whose watermark appears on the leaked version of the episode. In a statement to The Verge, Star India confirms it was the source of the leak, saying, “This is a grave issue and we are taking appropriate legal remedial action.”
The leak appears to be unrelated to the recent HBO hack. During that “cyber incident” programming data and scripts appear to have been stolen, and HBO has cautioned viewers about spoilers appearing online. The hackers specifically threatened to release more information about the network’s shows, including Game of Thrones, Ballers, and Room 104.
HBO’s Game of Thrones is no stranger to leaks and piracy. The series has long topped the list of the most pirated series on television. With the Season 7 debut being the most watched premiere in the network’s history, demand for new episodes is sure to create more opportunities for content to leak out.
Regardless, fans of the show should be cautious about spoilers appearing online.
