Watch out for malware-filled Game of Thrones downloads

If you want to get a head-start on Season 8, you might want to reconsider. Hackers and other online miscreants will often use the lure of ”yeah, this is totally the leaked first episode of Season 8” to make you download files filled with spying malware, viruses and other malicious stuff. According to Kaspersky Lab, the series’ pirated content accounts for 17% of all infected pirated content downloaded in 2018 – a huge number. The most common kind of virus hidden in the show is trojan. My suggestion? Hold your horses and wait for the legal episodes to come out.
