Hello can you please watch Kitaku-bu Katsudou Kiroku |
| MAL getting hacked... nostalgic. Set up stronger passwords this time, ok? |
on 
| While kind of funny that Lain was used to portray this cyber attack, seeing how much of an impact this caused made me quite concerned. I'll never understand these kinds of pranks. Glad it was resolved quickly. Thanks for the hard work dealing with something on such a short notice. |
| Just a quick tip for the users here : Change your password and enable Two factor authentication . That's it . Have a nice day!! |
on 
| Sooo... Give me some good reasons not to migrate to AniList. They don't get hacked as often, they have a properly maintained infrastructure, and they have more entries that get approved quickly. I only care about the list, as the MAL forum and reviews are full of trolls or, even worse, people who genuinely lack any kind of quality standard. I prefer MAL's scoring system, but I'll get used to it. Whoever owns the platform is clearly incompetent when it comes to security, as this is far from being the first attack. MAL runs on ancient and unmaintained infrastructure. That first reply had the wrong tone, but it's factually true. Unlike most of the corporate knights here, I actually understand this stuff, and it's not a matter of being big or small. I don't care about your arguments in their favor - you're wrong. You're just wrong and I don't care. |

I sure expected it from the start. It is truly patheic that the site continues to have issues with being hacked. What the hell is the site administrators even doing? Not giving a shit about cyber security, that's for damn sure. But what else should I expect from a site that just implied dark mode for the first time only a few months ago despite users asking for it for over 10 years. If it takes them 10 years to figure out dark mode, protecting the site from hackers is truly out their league. The users should absolutely be furious about this. The hackers may not have gotten any sensitive information this time but that may not be the case the next time this inevitable happens again. Maybe having some credit cards stolen would have caused some users to break up with this abusive relationship we all have with this site.

DeNA does not give a shit about this site outside of milking the users for money. There are other anime tracking sites that have come out over the years that are better than MAL but never got the traction since MAL was just first to really get big. Anilist and Kitsu come to mind. The speed it takes to get submissions approved is lightyears faster on anilist and if you read a lot of manga that isn't on MAL, use anilist instead. But anyway, stop spending money on a site that can't pay for competent cybersecurity. I'm personally quite glad I use adblock on this site. There is clearly no cyber security budget and DeNA doesn't give a shit about trying to modernize the site. A multi-million(billion?) that can't keep it's site safe and up and running consistently. I swear this happens ever year. "BuT OtHeR CoMpAnIeS gEt HaCkEd!!!!111" yeah but it doesn't cause their sites to go down for days on a yearly basis. We, the users, need to demand better and use MAL's competitors if they continue to not be able to deliver. No one should have any confidence in MAL keeping their information safe. So again, fuck DeNA for their clearly not giving a shit about protecting the site and only caring about money through subscriptions and deals they've made with various other companies to advertise and sell stuff through the site. They don't care about putting any money towards anything that would make the site better and more secure. I've been saying development/cyber security "team" but it's probably just a couple people with how bad they are at their job and how long it takes for this site to get even the slightest update. Just goes to show that every site truly loses it's soul when it sells out. And what have you gotten for it in the past 8 years? Certainly not a better site. Looks the same as it did 8 years ago. But hey dark mode, I guess. To the Admins, stand up and demand your corporate overlords do better. And to all users: demand better from the admins so maybe they'll actually grow a spine. Or go somewhere else. Speak with your wallets. Stop giving DeNA money. Because i'm sure this will happen again. And it may be more than just anime datebases and user scores next time.

I have been on MAL for more than three years and this was the first time I had seen MAL under a cyberattack. It's not frequent at all. Instead of crying, I would be grateful that a website like this exists. |

Kineta said: A malicious individual overwrote anime database information to modify all titles to "Let's All Love Lain". They should have at least done something funny. |

| Not to downplay the seriousness of what happened, but I couldn't help but smile when I read the part about the titles being modyfied to "Let's All Love Lain". Even tho it's a fun anime reference, the cyberattack itself is obviously a no go. I appreciate the MAL team for reacting so quickly and for being able to restore the site :) |

You treat someone like sh!t - don't be surprised about payback. Maybe you are right. I hope that it is the last such "action". |

Either way, everything went alright and somehow it wasn't a big problem to deal with but wait, what happened to MAL in 2018 tho? Again, why there are no advanced programmers to secure the site of such attacks from that? It is a mtstery. Especially if there WERE NUMEROUS ONES before.

| Thanks for keeping us updated, and for the openness. I remember 2018 on this site and was bit worried. I didn't realize how much I depended on a daily MAL dose until I was denied it. ';--have i been pwned? I've had personal and banking info stolen from multiple site hacks. The two worst sites never announced the hacks, I only got the details from 'Have I Been Pwned'. MAL's handling was professional and honest. So yes, thank you again. I'm glad MAL is up and running again. BTB I changed my password and virtual bank card number just to be safe. ';Have I Been Pwned--been pwned? |
Have suspicions, not faith. |
Martisha_Veresk said: Good luck with that ! Thank you!! |
|
| I don't condone this sort of attack, but honestly, it's pretty hilarious. Lain fans are just built different. More importantly: What is being done to prevent attacks like this in the future? is MAL PCI 4.0-compliant, considering it likely handles credit card information in its store? Are you following industry best practices? |
| My name is 3DPD and this is my Internet forum signature. If there's anything I've learned in 21 years of using Internet forums, it's that life is meaningless and nothing we say or do here will matter in the grand scheme of things. |
| Ignore the people trying to hate I see overall support, I really love MAL tbh it does need a look update since it looks straight out of 2009 but I can't live without it and i do enjoy all the features and simplicity that it makes my life be. Thank you for everything I hope hackers stop harassing you and good job fending them off !! Love from Portugal <3 |

| Serial Experiments Lain enjoyer GIGACHAD Let's All Love Lain |
 |
| Glad we're back! I wonder what data I've lost, but it's probably fine since the hundreds of the manga as well as all web novels I have read or am reading aren't allowed in MAL's database to begin with. Not having much data helps you prevent losing much too! |
| Over the next coming months, I think it's imperative that MAL as a whole should be working towards updating everything regarding its cybersecurity. If an individual or group was able to do that much damage to the site, who knows how bad things can get if someone else decides to go all out. Let this hacking be a startling reminder that MAL needs to get its shit together whilst they can. MALpocalypse 2.0 when? |
So I've been banned from MAL-Badges, after spending nearly two years of my time and dedication to helping out, being the club's spokesperson, and planning for the revamp, it all goes down the fucking drain. What a joke the club has become. I advise everyone to stop using the feature and stop showing their support for the site and the club. We were promised that we will see changes come to the site, and nothing's been done for the past year. I doubt the site will be touched for the foreseeable future. If you're angry and annoyed about the lack of development, then good, you should be. |

As annoying as it is that MAL goes through stuff like this not-so-rarely, it is my understanding that the people who run this site are not professionals by any means.

marcsello said: ^^^^^ this.I'm happy, that MAL is back. My stupid ass couldn't watch new episodes without tracking them. (also didn't remember where did I left off, lol) Also, big kudos for the team behind MAL. Security breaches are always hard, but it's part of operating anything, really. Good security does not mean that no one can hack in (because they will hack in eventually, it's like nature's law), but how quickly can you restore an operating state when the disaster happens. No matter how good your security is, you have to be prepared for the worst. Restoration is not just pressing some buttons, restore the backup and all good. You have to investigate a lot of things: what the issue was? did the attacker left a backdoor? Do they still have a foothold? Could they use the same exploit anywhere else on the site? You have to then mitigate the issue, that could involve a lot of planning, then restoring the backup could be a whole other story. This all takes time no matter how skilled the team. And to be honest, I can't really image a super-huge team behind MAL, I've seen sites used by millions of people only to be developed and maintained by a handful of people. It really makes no sense to compare MAL to Google or anything on that scale, but compare it to similar sizes. I've seen cases, where they didn't even had backup to begin with. I really value, that MAL were transparent on this issue, had clear communications and took their time to restore everything properly. That is what makes me be even more willing to stay here, because I know it when the next hack happens, I'll be properly informed about it, and operations will be restored eventually. And to close my overly long rambling. I have to say, that no matter how they handle such an incident, there always will be that one guy who know it better, or just hating in general. So seeing hating comments is just as natural as anything else. Thanks MAL, happy to see you back! a lot of people are hating the staff for no reason. we have to be patient. lets be thankful that 1- they had a recent backup 2- they worked to fix this issue 3- they were trasparent on what happened. 4- they fixed it real quick. or cant yall stay without watching anime for 2 days? so thanks to the staff for fixing this emergency and running the site online again. |
