For a second week in a row, an episode of the eight and final season of HBO’s Game of Thrones was leaked. 

Despite all security measures taken by the production, the second episode of GoT was leaked online ahead of its Sunday night debut on the premium cabler. 

Both the first and second episodes were made available to watch online prior to their scheduled airing. Deadline reports that the first episode of the eighth and final season was released on DirecTV Now four hours before it was to air. This week, according to The Wrap users on Reddit and Twitter pointed out that the second episode was streaming much earlier than its slated release on Amazon Prime Video in Germany.

While representatives for HBO have not responded to requests for comments, an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement Sunday, “We regret that for a short time Amazon customers in Germany were able to access episode 2 of season 8 of Game of Thrones. This was an error and has been rectified.”

Game of Thrones airs Sundays on HBO.
