Don't know how it happened, but there appears to be a data breach of some kind. I won't share the original post, but someone is spreading loads of emails and passwords to Crunchyroll Accounts right now.
I don't…
Crunchyroll has responded to CBR regarding rumors of a possible data breach, where approximately 50 logins were exposed in a viral social media post. The company said there's no evidence of this and has secured the affected accounts. Replying to CBR's query regarding the post, Crunchyroll's statement reads: "We are aware that login credentials for several streaming services, including Crunchyroll, were posted on social media and have resolved the issue. We have secured the affected accounts, investigated the situation and determined that there is no evidence that Crunchyroll’s systems have been compromised."
While Crunchyroll has resolved the issue, it serves as a reminder for subscribers to regularly update their passwords and prioritize account security. Crunchyroll fans can rest assured that the platform is taking steps to protect its users and maintain a secure streaming experience.
