Since the leak, it has been widely shared on various pirate sites.
The leak was first reported by Torrentfreak, and has since been confirmed by HBO.
It wrote that Its rather ironic that HBO itself gives the impression of the source for this leak.
The company decided to stop releasing promotional screeners this year, fearing that outsiders would leak them.
Perhaps the company should take a good look at its internal policies as well.
Upon learning of the incident, we used the available means to limit further access to the episode.
According to Torrentfreak, at first the GoT S06 E05 available were of low quality.
However, soon after a 1080p HD version was widely circulated on the torrent and streaming sites.
Game of Thrones has long been one of the most-pirated TV shows on the internet.
In 2015, the first four episodes of the season leaked online before Episode 1 had even aired.
To fight piracy, HBO tried offering viewers a simultaneous premiere in 170 countries to handle advance press screeners.
