Four People Reportedly Arrested for Leaking 'Game of Thrones' Episode

The justice of the law is apparently as swift and ruthless as the dragons of Daenerys Targaryen.

A new report suggests that four people have been arrested for leaking an episode of Game of Thrones early.

According to the report by the international news agency Agence France-Presse, four people in India have been arrested for the incident regarding last week's episode, 'The Spoils of War'.

The episode was leaked from Star India, one of HBO's international distributers, a few days before it aired.

These four individuals have been accused of "criminal breach of trust and computer-related offenses," and the case was filed by a company in Mumbai that stores and process Game of Thrones episodes.

While catching these four was a step in the right direction, there is still a much bigger problem at hand for HBO. This leak was completely separate from the cyber attack that has been going on for some time. A hacker group continues to leak episodes of HBO original shows and confidential information from the company. Most recently, the group released a set of unaired episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm's return to television.

Despite the leaks, Game of Thrones continues to break records for HBO.
