The MyAnimeList website is down after a cyber attack.
According to Anime Senpai, someone hacked MyAnimeList, one of the largest anime and manga websites, on May 10. On that day, users found all anime series titles replaced with the phrase. “LET’S ALL LOVE LAIN” from Serial Experiments Lain. According to MyAnimeList’s Urgent Maintenance Notice, a “malicious individual” tampered with a user’s score and inserted code to display a pop-up window to anyone accessing their profile or listing within attack. They have also reported no data breaches for users’ personal information at this time. MyAnimeList has also updated users that the emergency maintenance will end on May 12.
