Please be on the lookout for random popups that ask for your username/password or ask you to submit an abuse report when you didn't intentionally try to.

We're actively working on combating the malicious user and will keep everyone updated as we make progress.

Sorry for the inconvenience everyone.

IF that does happen, what is the proper course of action. Is exiting that prompt enough?

Is it a specific user on the site that is doing this or some random person trying to cause trouble? Seriously, what type of person does this stuff?

People who get mad when they get banned and let forth their nerd rage through being annoying for a couple hours.

S/he has been doing this stuff for basically a few years. As I've heard, they just come back once a while, and hacks into MAL users. Sucks...

:O The got Diran & Suzanne? I'm guessing that the hacker did find several other ways cause I'm sure they wouldn't have typed their information. Now I'm feeling worried O.o

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

I wonder...What if a mod or someone purposely made another account on this site as a new user with the purpose of it getting used by the hacker, and then watching and keeping tabs on that account. Once the hacker gets it, maybe that might help catch the hacker?

I don't know. Might just make things worse.

Same happened to my friend TomatoGraffiti. She changed her password and it logged her out, but she said there was a weird login screen so she decided not to, She says Tiger & Bunny is also missing (changed?) from her list now.

As for me, I don't know if it's just me or related to this, but I've been getting blank pages when I navigate the site today.

Could this idea be used in any way? Maybe making another email address and making an all new account on this site then and then watching the email address?

Trying to think of ways to catch the evildoer.

This is so freakin' hilarious. But i do hope he does not do any pernament damage to the site. If his purpose was to just mess with us just for the shits and giggles then i think he did his job well. Assuming things will return back to normal in a day or two.
