Even the list updating works just fine - all he changed was the titles. You do not need an admin account to modify the database, there's some way to access it by injecting SQL request in one way or another. There's also other way to go around it like making the site think you are an admin while you are not. I'm not sure what you're talking about, as I never even was talking about how he modified the database. I'm simply saying : anyone that still has their account access has no problems, you can do everything as normal - it's just a little harder to find anime to update it. The guy's "hack" is essentially doing absolutely nothing whatsoever. My point is that the person that changed the database and the one that 'hacked' the accounts are probably two different persons. |

Am I horrible for finding this entertaining? And, exactly what's going on here? Is this connected with the person trying to steal accounts? I know that, but the question was is it the same person? They have a motive if they're trying so hard. |
Shangetsu said: -It's very unlikely related to the person that steal accounts. This is most likely done by SQL injections or any other method with similar result. using sql injection you can do almost everything. for example, destroy database, or change all entries in one hit. he just got some passwords. so, that's very likely. |

| Oh my God. Are they trying to change every known series in the database? Whoever is doing this is even adding side comments to the series. |
Shangetsu said: Actually it's very likely it is not the same person. I don't know about that. The majority of what's going on seems to be being done manually, given he's changing details per-show sometimes and going at such a slow rate. He probably got a database admin's account and is just fucking around with that. I don't see why it wouldn't be the same person. |

Because I refuse to accept that this is done by someone who have 10 years under his belt, must be an impersonator then. It's like asking a chief that cooked for 10 years to make cookies and seeing him fail horribly at it. |

| I just signed in to make a quick update before going to bed and I find "SSJMaster vs Xnil" plastered all over my list. After seeing this announcement on the panel page, this situation has become quite clear. This sucks but at the same time it is kind of funny. Sorry, I didn't read the full sixteen pages, but is this just a matter of waiting patiently to have our list reverted back to normal? And are the mods/staff recommending that we change our passwords? |

It most likely wouldn't be a bad idea to change your passwords after they patch the exploit and revert all changes, on the off chance he made off with User Login Info. |
| Is it just me or MAL gets hacked a lot... |
| Cute, but annoying. Makes me wish whoever this hacker is would spend their time more wisely. There's so many banks and corporations and governments to take down, why waste time taking down a site that lets you keep up with what anime you're watching? |

MysteriouslyMe said: No one is hacking the accounts, someone i altering the shows database, when the databases are restored, the list will be back to normal, also it's not that annoying when you use MAL Updater, since you can guess what the show is by it's picture.Wait can they easily hack in our accounts now, without us accidentally giving the info.?? |

You talk about being cautious but that's only because you have limited knowledge about the matter. It's like you are on a plane that just lifted off and you see someone with a knife on the ground from the windows and you ask to change seat with someone else in case something might happens. It's not being cautious, it's being paranoid. |
