'Game of Thrones' Hit by Yet Another Leak
Just as HBO is reeling from Game of Thrones" has been leaked online -- by a completely different source.
What? Turns out, HBO has more leaks than the White House.
EW reports that "The Spoils of War," episode 4, which is set to air this Sunday, is now loose on the web. Making it more like "Spoilers of War," at this point.
An HBO insider told EW that the leak is not believed to be part of the major hack of HBO which was reported Monday, but can be traced back to one of the network's distributors.
A telling watermark on the leaked episode shows that it's from Star India, one of HBO's international network partners.
Star India released this statement: "This confirms the compromise of episode 4 of 'Game of Thrones' Season 7, earlier this afternoon. We take this breach very seriously and have immediately initiated forensic investigations at our and the technology partner's end to swiftly determine the cause. This is a grave issue and we are taking appropriate legal remedial action."
Despite all the leaks and hacks, "Game of Thrones" still racks up the best ratings on TV: The Season 7 premiere had more than 30 million viewers in the U.S. alone.
Here's the preview for Sunday's episode. (Assuming you haven't already seen the whole episode.)
