| My watching days went from 192 to 108 (approximately)... AND not to mention around 80 anime in my list are "crashed" |
| I lost 60 days watched, is this gonna get fixed when all the titles and episodes are back to normal? |
 |
Shadow-Samaaaa said: My anime watching time also went from 23.9 days to 10.3 days... just lost over 60 days of my watched time. |
| That time of the year again? Sheesh, the whole internet's going out of whack First nyaa (sukebei included), then anidb (though it's back now), now MAL. |
| My anime days dropped from 178 days to 168 days... |
 |
| I see people are working hard to resolve this, first the titles, then the episode numbers. This sucks for all parties involved and perhaps better security is needed, but at least you're working on it and it's appreciated. |
 |
| haha guys...mine dropped from 217 to 113...lol hope it'll be fixed soon |
 |
| 24.7 to 18.4 days. Manga remains the same though. |
| I'm learning English so maybe I make mistakes :) |
| What were some of the funniest changes to the title? I've exported my list and am just waiting for this to blow over. HorribleSubs and Nyaa are still down too :( |
 |
IAmLoudness said: Also the thumbnails im using in my list seem to have dissapeared, does any1 also have this problem? Yep mine too. Although my days have not dropped. How dos it work, was all this changed one by one and it will need to be reverted back one by one? |

Exerorg said: I've already seen one gore post since this started. I haven't seen anything because I don't have requests to random (image hosting) sites enabled per default in Request Policy Subpyro said: Still, to fall for a phishing site... be careful where you login peeps, give it at least a second to check the URL out, not only the page's layout. I have http://myanimelist.net/ bookmarked, Firefox warns me when a website tries to redirect or reload the page, so if something's strange, I'll immediately see it. Ind3x said: Are your lists really that messed up? On my list only the names got changed. The "Already seen" counts are still fine. They did not get changed on my list. Same for me. I won't mind having a database rollback, though, and I should take a mental note to export my lists more often for backup purposes. kuuderes_shadow said: When this happened before it was the guy posting images all over the forums and he would gain access to the accounts of anyone who clicked on a thread with one of those images on it. Even when using a sandboxed browser, advertising blockers, NoScript + request policy and not having random (image hoster) sites allowed? rasenshiruken973 said: Is there any way to save my anime list somewhere else? http://myanimelist.net/panel.php?go=export To export your list (just keep it with the archives) and http://myanimelist.net/import.php to import your list. In this case, I would wait for the database entries fixes, since the watched episode count is not affected (at least not for me, from what I could see), but only the total episode count and/or the names, which means: completed 12/9001 episodes are likely to return soon to 12/12 again. |
| wow wtf so we got changed anime titles, synopsis, alternative titles, episodes, type, duration, status, aired, genre, rating, all the fu ck ing statics..... did I miss something? if this was by only one good job giving more work here and messing with the list -_- |
Lunarhawk said: All the title changes seem to be the same shit, it's not a very good or funny "hack". How boring -.- Normally I'm reasonably impressed when people manage to get into systems but this is just lame. Hopefully it'll be sorted out soon. |
|
| Really again? I just hope they realize it isn't just the titles that have changed (since that was the only thing mentioned that they were fixing and it seems to be fixed already) but also the Alternative titles, synopsis and number of episodes. This hacker seriously needs to get a life though... |
Noboru said: Even when using a sandboxed browser, advertising blockers, NoScript + request policy and not having random (image hoster) sites allowed? It's not so much 'instant access' as it brings up a password prompt, obviously a phishing attempt to anybody with a functioning brain. |
Cyaegha said: It's all but confirmed that it was the phishing. The same popups have been appearing all over the site the past day. If this is true, then the mod should definitely lose their position. Any idiot who falls for a phishing attempt should not have this level of responsibility with the site. |
pichipi said: running a wiki site like this need frequent snapshot stored for quick restore That's what I'm thinking, but I assume it takes a while to restore back to that snapshot |

SheyCroix said: wow wtf so we got changed anime titles, synopsis, alternative titles, episodes, type, duration, status, aired, genre, rating, all the fu ck ing statics..... Not "we" got changed. Our lists and episode counts are perfectly fine. Go for example to http://myanimelist.net/anime/6547/Angel_Beats! and see for yourself what is written under "My Info" on the left panel for you. It's only those entries in the database that got changed. Anyway, it's good that I just started a new series and with my slow tempo, I won't finish my currently watched series till next Friday, so I hope the max episode counters get resolved before I'm going to add it as "completed". edit: html encoding fixed. |
| Honestly, what is the point to this "hack." I get when people hack for financial gain or wish to "liberate" classified information (I don't agree with it, but I get it.) But this is just juvenile. The hacking equivalent of drawing a phallus on the wall of a public place. Grow up. If you need to flex those hacking muscles, then flex them at targets that deserve it: Hate groups, known child molesters, spam centers, companies that knowingly use slave labor, the Fox execs that cancelled Firefly (well, maybe not them, but they did deserve it back then.) Forgive my little rant, it's just my opinion. Feel free to disagree. It's just really annoys me to see stupid, immature things like this happen. Here's hoping the MAL team get things back on track. |

Cyaegha said: It's not so much 'instant access' as it brings up a password prompt, obviously a phishing attempt to anybody with a functioning brain. And I thought what kuuderes_shadow mentioned was a drive-by attack, so if simple phishing is considered "hacking" nowadays, I can sleep well without any worries. Also, I haven't seen such prompts, but that might be because I haven't been really active in forums and/or because I have third party scripts/requests blocked by default. |
| Wow, felt asleep at 12am... Did they managed to fix the entries already? Because mine are just fine... |
| sic mundus |
| Well... Man proposes, SSJ Master disposes... |
 |
| I looked at the new FMA:B page. Omfg that is hilarious. 'Oozing with epicness' and it's ranked in the 8000's XD Someone loved Steins;Gate a little too much, tho. Hope you guys get it figured out quickly. |
| "Hey, assbutt!"—Castiel, Supernatural "Do you ever have a problem where you just don't know how to reply to an argument-- not because you don't know the answer, but you just don't where to begin? Like, the foundation of knowledge you'd need to impart to this person before you could even begin to drag them out of their sinkhole of ignorance would cost thousands of dollars, if it were coming from a University?" -MAL in a nutshell. |
| Messed up.. Is there a list anywhere where we can mention where he made the changes?? |
| wtf? fucking incompetent. give me my money back |
| hello I ascendantly deleted 2 of my anime which said ''SSX battle season 2'' and I was wondering if where is a way for me to get them back please. |
| i was wandering why my list was messed up now i know . quick question ir will be restored or we need to do anything ourselvs cause messed up a lot in mine |
 |
| I just noticed that there was something up when close to all the anime suddenly had 9001 episodes and their titles changed. Kinda already guessed that someone must have been playing around, was wondering for a sec why my list looked off. |
| If anything, the staff has a better idea of the situation than most of us. I bet they're trying to work out a solution, just give them a day. I hope they can put something in place to protect MAL from attacks like this in the future. |
 |
| People, it will be eventually fixed.. MAL isn't only site that's being DDOS'ed right now. |

| Why was my time (days) anime stat also affected? |

rothrock said: I lost 60 days watched, is this gonna get fixed when all the titles and episodes are back to normal? From 200.2 watched days to 93.0, I sure hope this can be fixed |
 |
| This is gonna be a tough one to resolve lol entries are still messed up but some were fixed I guess, slowly but surely ;3 |
| Thank God AniDB has been way more reliable than MAL in the past few years... I mean... ur security sux big time guys T^T ... Hopefully this won't make me add hundreds of articles of what I've watched like many times before when articles were missing from my anime list >.> |
| Hope this gets fixed soon. |
| Maybe that moderator should stop using "Password" as his password? |
