Dear MAL Team why not switch MAL to HTTPS for more security and add better protection for User and moderator accounts like CAPTCHA(I hate it) or something else to stop this hacker attacks on our loved MAL.

Anyway thanks for all :D

Captcha does nothing against people, it is a system that prevents bots from registering/logging-in. Anyway, read this.

Tried searching for Di Gi Charat and only a few titles remained. Five of them was renamed to, what was it again, SSJMaster vs. Xinil (Is that even a real show!?). And some Animes have the right titles, but suddenly have 9001 episodes... Strange how it doesn't affect the Anime stats.

I know but it was an hacker who did this and not real moderator so he must used dome password cracking program to hack in to the moderator account or the moderator had an very easy password.

I am only saying to add more security to MAL to prevent this annoying hacker attacks nothing else.

If it's by that then moderators need to be more smart because getting phished to put you details in places you shouldn't is not very complimentary to your logical abilities.

Considering Crave™ investments into MAL's security, which, in case you're wondering: is zero, you can easily bruteforce into any account.
I seriously wonder how many years will pass by us until we finally have ANY fix on this site.

Friendly reminder: The next plague is the annual DDoS near Christmas.


Lol, Crave investment into Mal seems to be zero about anything other than the server. No security, no features, no personnel to fix stuff.
They are just milking the cow until it dies. Horrible business people really.

In case Hummingbird's import is broken for anyone (it is for me for some reason), AniList is also an excellent back-up solution.

I'm not too sure why some of you are freaking out. Instantly deleting something fishy from your list without looking into it first just seems like such a quick and not very well thought out move.;;

At this point, all users have to do is sit back and wait for titles and episode counts to be changed back, right? Why are people so worried then?
While you wait or if you're scared but still want to keep a list, you can have a temporary list on an untitiled notepad or something; that's what I used to do years before joining MAL, and I still use it for specifics.

I admit, the lack of security is a bit surprising, but I don't feel there's a need to become upset about a your lists being temporarily different. Maybe I'm missing something?
Good luck!

The issue is that it's a breach of security that keeps happening. A site shouldn't have its database compromised this frequently. It's an inconvenience for users, and while MAL may have been able to lay claim to being the only site that offered the sort of service it does once upon a time, we now have some alternatives that are quite a bit better than notepad, and considering the security issues, arguably better than MAL.

Not a lot of changes have been made to MAL since its creation, and it seems that extends to its security measures as well.
