i think the blank page was something else. the hacker isn't causing the lag, since the lag happens on a semi-regular basis

Same here! I go to my profile and it shows that I was LAST ONLINE YESTERDAY @__@

MAL system needs to shutdown,or from all of those gore images,someone is gonna trow up!


Yes. I tried it a couple of times. Whenever I logged out, it keeps saying I'm still online. Which is not true. It appears that no admin or moderator is online right at this minute, which is rather inconvenient.

I'm not really sure what you mean, but I apologise if I caused you any offence.^^

I agree that the MAL system needs a shutdown.


Oh you definitely did not, sorry for that misunderstanding. I'm just getting tired of this asshole fucking up the site.

Who knows what he'll hijack next? Our e-mails and personal infomation? I only hope the mods can take care of this once and for all! Just like a high school bully who messes you up when he's bored, ignoring him wont help.


That's alright. I was concerned that whilst I was trying to calm everyone down it had the opposite effect. =)

Yes...thinking it over, perhaps ignoring him/her won't have any effect. Although, I am choosing to log out until the matter is dealt with.

It might actually be a good idea if we all log out?

This individual may hijack other accounts, including mine. So I'm going to log out for indefinite now and come away for a good while.

Just be at ease (easier said and done I can understand) and let the admins and moderators handle the situation.

Yup that's what i'm doing. Just log out and stay off the site for the rest of the day.

In most cases i would say ignoring the guy would help (eg "Trolls") but this is a pretty aggressive hacker we're dealing with. Harder measures need to be taken ;)

Is it just me or are those account slowing down? Last of them in news was from 15 minutes ago.

I keep getting logged out whenever I try to change my password from the "new password request".
also logged back in and logged out etcetc.
and yes I was affected by the KobaKoba hack on one of my posts.

and it's been a while now but MAL is slow in firefox. I use chrome for MAL though.

The spam has been stopped and cleaned up.

My only hope is that they don't compromise more accounts and hit us again in a few days time.

We don't know if SSJ stole user details from the database on the initial breach, so I'd recommend that everyone change their password as a precaution.
I changed mine the moment this restore was done.

I recommend you clear your browser history for the past day or two, if you saw the gore.

The images might be downloaded and saved in your cache without you knowing.

Not true. I saw some club threads with very few posts get ruined. Also, none of the recent forum games were hit.

I think they were just running scripts to just run through the forums and post in every thread it finds.

Earlier this morning, a vulnerability in MyAnimeList's code was targeted by an anonymous hacker. This resulted in a number of deleted accounts and forum threads/posts.

We've pinpointed the targeted area and patched the bug. Unfortunately, enough data was removed that we felt it was necessary to revert all data to our most recent backup (from this morning.)

I apologize for the inconvenience. Please bear with us as we better secure the site against malicious internet trolls.

(Re-post: I cleaned up some comments too because I'd like as many people to see this post as possible)

To update everyone.

As is probably obvious, the database restore was not the end of things. Many of you have encountered gore images and lost your favourites over the course of the last few days. However, we are continuing to work at stopping and preventing this. The re-direct he was using to make you delete your own favourites will no longer work, and as far as we know, he has not found any new techniques to hack user accounts.

However, if you have not changed your password since the restore, PLEASE DO. Your account may still hold the possibility of being compromised! Some of you in certain ID ranges will have had your password changed forcefully by us in efforts to keep the hacker from using your accounts. Do not change this back to your old password or there will have been no point in us doing this.

If you see the hacker spamming the forum/clubs/comments, the best thing to do is get off MAL and join our IRC channel. If the channel isn't already discussing it, then you may want to message/beep either Luna_, saka or myself if you truly think you are the first to notice and let us know what you've seen. Posting here, creating new threads, or commenting on the hacked account profiles is much less effective and makes it hard for us to pick out the important posts admist the (justifiable) rants and woes.

- If you find any gore posts that have yet to be cleaned up, please post in this thread.
- To recover your lost favourites, please see here.
- And in efforts to save your eyes, please read this post.

Thanks for bearing through this with us.

seems like there's more and more attacks recently...
This world is mine. I think this world may even just be a long, long dream I'm watching. You guys may just be illusions, and it can't be proven whether or not you really exist either. In other words, this world was created with me at the center. So what will happen if I die? I don't know. My imagination isn't very creative; I just can't imagine myself dying. In other words, there is no way this world can completely disappear. But if I die, then everyone will disappear. I am the only one in this world who won't disappear. The rest are just people I see as if in a dream.

Is the user's sensitive data (password/login) stored in plain text, or is it hashed? And if so, is it just MD5, or something stronger? I guess I will keep the random/unique password :p

Just food for thought. To prevent any spamming on clubs from the previous encounter by the hacker, would it not be a good idea for the requests to join clubs to be pending, or give the clubs an option to pend? This way the club owner can decide whether or not they want this user in question ti join their respective fanclub? It won't prevent the spamming on threads, but it might prevent spamming on clubs.^^

Either way, thank you Kineta, Luna and all staff members for sorting out the problem. =)

What seems to be the problem?

The only way your account can be permanently deleted (AFAIK) is if you created it some time on november 21st between 2:30AM and 1:30PM

I also read somewhere that the administrators changed certain members passwords as a proactive measure, so if you're just receiving a "wrong password" notification when you log in, you should check your email to see if MAL sent you something concerning a password change.

Edit: It'd be helpful if you gave us the name of your old account.
