I went to update my list and checked to see if this was a frickin prank by mal, but apparently this was exactly what happened when mal got hacked last year lol O_o Now that's 2 sites that I personally use that have been hacked in the same year.

Not quite, last year was a little worse in comparison because user accounts were being targeted.

But it might not be over either.

hello all!
I just started using this service a few days ago and now I am noticing this issue as well. I'm just wondering if all my info is going to be screwed up permenantly, or will it eventually get fixed and I can stop worrying :p

thanks!
Nope. Once the mods edit the name fields, it's gonna be fine.

It will be eventually fixed, if the previous hacking attempts are any indication.

I'm just glad he listened to my (and others I assume) advice and made it 9001 episodes. 9000 really didn't do the show justice.

Not to sound like a douche or anything, but this is seriously getting annoying, can't the people from MAL just increase their site security ffs. Once is acceptable twice is bad, but we're at thrice (might be more) already...


Honestly I think the most sensible change would be to lock pages from being editted after a year or so after a series is finished airing. Edits to locked pages should need strict approval from a site admin before going through to the page. That way newer shows can have information updated as need be, and older shows are already going to have completed information on their pages and don't need to be editted, anyway. Also, since only newer shows will be open to edits, fewer pages need to be consistently moderated.


I do see what you are trying to say , but honestly I think the best solution would be to recreate a new database and edit the user fields by adding permissions to certain "chosen" administrators , and that only those administrators can edit any content or any information stored in databases.

Xinil can add a GUI that administrators can access when they log in perhaps that can allow administrators to many any necessary changes and updates.
This is a lot of work though so it honestly wouldn't surprise me if nothing like this gets implemented.
