| That's quite interesting considering that MAL was put offline a few weeks ago due to security reasons. |

| If there's no examples of this kind of phishing happening on MAL, then I'm not sure if someone will look into patching it--if that's generally possible cuz I haven't really read it properly. @Fexell I don't think MAL has ever stored passwords in plain text... and no, no-one's going to ban you. |

| If you take a look at the latest DeNA financial results you'll find out that the main source of income of the company is based on games (they've recently partnered with Nintendo) and e-commerce. IP-generating platforms like MAL are categorized under the "New Businesses and Others" section; in the last few quarters, the operating profit of this category was about -1.8%. In other words, they're losing money. Thus, at least from a financial point of view, it's much better to deploy more resources where they know for sure that they'll improve the revenue (gaming and e-commerce) rather than wasting them in some money-burning project like MAL. Don't take me wrong, I love MAL and I don't like the situation we're in. However, it doesn't surprise me that we haven't seen any major improvement of MAL in the last years (except for the introduction of the Manga Store, the DeNA's e-commerce platform redesigned for MAL). |

Okay, then I can rest easy with spreading the word of vulnerabilities on your site. Can you please answer me why there are so many vulnerabilities? What are the devs doing? Vue is still in dev mode. It's not that difficult to set it to production. If they've set it up right, it's literally just changing a word from "dev" to "production" (or similar). There are also a bunch of other error-messages in the console, which kind of indicates that they are developing on the live server (I could be wrong, though). Who in their right mind does that? Just so you know, mods here aren't devs. We know just as little as you guys. |
| The devs are currently looking into these 2 issues mentioned in this thread. This is all I know about the situation though - I'm not involved in the actual dev work so I can't answer any questions about this. |

Current character count:3(or any other random number) Warning: Please do not bypass blablabla... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've sent this to support but they never respond. This is the first website, and the first time that I've encountered such problem. =.= so annoyed by this! You should probably open a separated topic for this. |

| I would love to see MAL being open-sourced, however that won't be the case as long as it won't be part of DeNA business plan. I've seen different people on IRC interested on helping with the code (some of them were quite obsessed with that idea), but I doubt that DeNA will allow any stranger to contribute with the development of MAL. Plus, they're a Japanese company; the language/cultural barrier shouldn't be underestimated. |

Plus, they're a Japanese company; the language/cultural barrier shouldn't be underestimated. I was not really paying attention, and didn't realize DeNA owned MAL for a while. I still wish that the site was kept as it's own entity and not sold to a company who has no interest in the website itself. I want this site to be updated and given attention to by a dev team who actually cares about the product and it's users. I've also seen people on IRC express interest in doing this, but it likely will never happen. |
| The vulnerability reported in the first post has been fixed. I was told that the Vue JS issue doesn't need a fix since there are apparently multiple safeguards in place that will prevent people from hacking into the system. |

Here ya go: https://imgur.com/a/IoP83E6 Living that dangerous life. Would be interesting if you PM'd @Luna the steps you did so she can send it to the devs. |
