Another episode of 'Game Of Thrones' leaks
In what’s sure to be another devastating turn of events for HBO, the newest episode of Game Of Thrones has leaked online, four days ahead of schedule. HBO España and HBO Nordic accidentally dropped season 7 episode 6 of series online in Spanish and Nordic territories, where it was available to on-demand subscribers for a full hour before it was removed.
This left enough time for footage from the episode to be ripped on shared. Footage was posted to Reddit, with copy shared via YouTube, Twitch and other streaming providers. Reddit posts were taken down quickly and according to UK paperThe Independent, the full episode was posted on torrent sites and being uploaded “faster than HBO can take the links down” and confirmed the episode was real and in HD.
“We have learned that the upcoming episode of Game Of Thrones was accidently posted for a brief time on the HBO Nordic and HBO Espana platforms,” said HBO Europe spokesperson Tom Krogsgaard Nielsen. “The error appears to have originiated with a third party vendor and the episode was removed as soon as it was recognized. This is not connected to the recent cyber incident at HBO in the U.S.”
This is the second leak this month for the hit HBO show. On August 3, Game Of Thrones episode 4 of season 7 leaked online and hit torrent sites three days ahead of its scheduled airtime. That breach came from the show’s Indian distributor Star India. Four arrests have been made in Mumbai and police there say the theft was committed by current and former employees of Prime Focus Technologies, the data-management company hired by Sky India.
