Google searches for pirate sites to download Game of Thrones season 8 spiked between 6 and 9 a.m. this morning in Pakistan. People who have waited for 2 years for this final season of the popular show are eagerly looking for a way to download it for free.
Google Searches May Lead to Viruses
However, the risk associated with any pirated download of Game of Thrones season 8 is extremely high. Many of the people who initiate these Google searches will find their computer infected with malware of one type or another. According to Kapersky, the top rated shows are more likely to contain malware files that can harm your computer. These files may also contain phishing viruses that share your passwords and other personal information with hackers.
While many countries have outlawed the distribution of copyrighted material, like movies, pirated copies still abound. Google searches will readily turn up a wide variety of sights that will allow you to download Game of Thrones season 8 episodes. In spite of stringent laws regarding copyright infringement, pirates continue to upload files to these websites. However, not all who are uploading are looking to help you watch your favorite show. Avoiding illegal copies of these shows is the safest move to protect your information.
Game of Thrones Season 8 is the End
This is the final season for the popular show. This could explain why there are so many Google searches for a site to download Game of Thrones season 8. Many fans from all over the world have watched the show with intense enthusiasm. Now, as it is coming to its climactic end, many can’t wait for it to air in their country. This is what causes the huge spikes in Google searches for the show.
If you are intent on watching new movies and shows, it is best to watch them on authorized sources, like Netflix or Amazon Prime. However, if you are persuaded that a pirated copy is the best way to watch this show, then by all means grab your keyboard and start your own Google search. Just don’t be surprised to find your social security number, bank account information, and all of your personal emails are displayed on some website deep in the dark web. If you want to download Game of Thrones season 8, I suggest you wait until it becomes readily available from its legitimate sources. Hackers love to use initial releases to catch eager fans off guard.
