Four people accused of leaking an episode of the popular HBO series have been arrested in India, according to a report Monday by the AFP news agency. Police told AFP the four were arrested for the unauthorized release of episode 4 of the current season, and are “accused of criminal breach of trust and computer-related offenses.” The episode leaked from Star India, a company that distributes HBO programming there.
Star India said in a statement that the four people arrested were associated with its technology vendor, Prime Focus Technologies.”This is the first time in the history of Star India that an incident of this nature has occurred,” the company said. “We are deeply grateful to the police for their swift and prompt action.” HBO didn’t respond to a request for comment.
