It looks like HBO is caught in its own âseries of unfortunate eventsâ version. Days before the next âGame of Thronesâ episode was supposed to air, it got leaked online and this time through HBOâs own Spain division. Game of Thrones Episode 5 went through a similar fate with HBO partners in India being responsible for the online leak of the episode.
Earlier, HBO faced a massive cyber-attack wherein 1.5TB of the companyâs data had been stolen. This data included the script of Game of Thrones, Season 7. Hackers had demanded a bitcoin ransom in exchange for not leaking the data online any further. If not paid, the hackers had threatened to gradually release unaired episodes of several HBO series over time.
