The India leak is believed to be unrelated to a group of hackers known as 'Mr Smith,' which on Sunday released new episodes of Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm, five scripts of Game of Thrones and five months worth of internal HBO emails. Its centerpiece was a heart-pounding battle sequence featuring a dragon, and it ended with a cliffhanger, which was resolved in its following episode, Eastwatch. The leaked episode, titled The Spoils of War, aired in both the US and India on August 7. The four arrested possessed official credentials giving them access to the episodes of the popular series, the reports added. Prime Focus Technology is responsible for storing and processing episodes of Game of Thrones for the video-streaming app Hotstar, which is a subsidiary of the local broadcaster Star India, local media outlets said. All four are accused of criminal breach of trust and computer-related offences and would be detained until August 21 amid an investigation. He said three of the suspects are current employees of Prime Focus, while the fourth is a former employee.
