1) First of all, the image of the "gold master" is obviously sitting on at least one machine back in their offices, and is almost certainly backed up securely in several different places
2) As others have pointed out, if whoever they're sending it to doesn't have FTP capabilities, they're not a legitimate destination, so it's no big deal on the timing
3) If this is really the "gold master", it's literally bit-for-bit what's going to be in boxes in the store (or available online). There's no advantage to any "thief" of posting/duping the GM as opposed to what they could buy retail
The only possible advantage a thief could get is saving the price of buying a copy, and maybe a couple of weeks lead time before the game might appear on the shelf. Doesn't make much sense to me.
