Game of Thrones Season 7, Episode 6, Leaks Online After HBO Spain Makes a Massive Mistake

It turns out that HBO doesn't have to just look out for hackers when it comes to Game of Thrones season seven leaks.

In a shocking error, HBO Spain seems to have broadcast episode six "Death Is My Enemy" five days ahead of its official release, with the episode reportedly also available on-demand for subscribers before being removed.

As pointed out on Reddit though, that was more than enough time for it to be ripped and shared, so the internet will be full of even more spoilers than usual today, which is why Digital Spy won't link to the thread about the leak.

Footage has also appeared on YouTube, Instagram, and other streaming services, so maybe just don't search Game of Thrones today to be safe.

"We have learned that the upcoming episode of Game of Thrones was accidentally posted for a brief time on the HBO Nordic and HBO Espana platforms," said HBO in a statement.

"The error appears to have originated 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 US."

Weirdly, it's not even the first time that HBO has leaked an episode of its hit series as last year, season six's "The Door" was accidentally released 24 hours before it was due to air by HBO Nordic.

Last week, the HBO hackers released a Game of Thrones episode synopsis that was illegally obtained from the 1.5 terabytes of data that the hackers have allegedly stolen, alongside executive emails and purported casting information.

Earlier this week, unrelated to the HBO hack, four people were arrested in India after being accused of leaking "The Spoils of War."

The fourth episode of season seven showed up online two days before its HBO debut after a digital copy was stolen from international broadcaster Star India with the company immediately launching an investigation with Mumbai police.

Game of Thrones (legally) continues Sunday, Aug. 20, on HBO in the U.S.
