Streams of the episode were confirmed by various websites and social media. If you haven't already, go ahead and hide anything you can because people won't give a shit about it. The leak was the result of a distribution partner accidentally posting the episode ahead of schedule, according to the statement. The network admitted that it was "disappointed that this unlawful action has disrupted the viewing experience for loyal fans of the show." The internet is being monitored and pulled from it.
Game of thrones had plenty of leaks throughout its eight season run. Various measures were taken to prevent this from happening, from creating digital-only versions of the script to not giving advance screeners to press. The post-credits scene to this weekend's Black Adam leaked, as did the story beats to its newly released superhero game, as WB had a bad run with leaks recently.
The leak happened on Friday and was close to the finale. Hopefully those who watch the show can last that long because two days is bad, but not terrible.
