Game of Thrones is one of the most popular TV shows on the planet, especially as it nears its final season. That level of demand, unsurprisingly, makes it a prime target for leaks. HBO has tried to combat the practice by abolishing advance screeners for reviewers. Clearly, that hasn't stopped the cybercriminals who somehow managed to weasel their way into HBO's network this week. To protect (arguably) the best show in the world, the company now needs the best security in the world too. We've reached out to HBO for comment and will update this article if they respond.

Update: According to The Verge, the leaked episode isn't related to the HBO hack from Monday. Instead, it came from one of HBO's distribution partners, Star India. While that's good news for HBO's security team, it's still a pain for everyone involved with Game of Thrones.
