Crunchyroll Premium Login Details Leaked; Users At High Risk
On Jan 23, 2025, an account on X published a list of login details for multiple Crunchyroll Premium accounts.
A Sony company having a data breach?
That tells me they’re not using salted and hashed passwords. How can they still be doing that? Idiots.
Not necessarily. If a Javascript vulnerability exists, they can steal the password you type before it even reaches the database (long before the salting and hashing steps).
If the backend code running on their servers is similarly compromised, then the password can be stolen from code-memory before it is salted or hashed.
Just another reason to pirate and then support studios and authors in other ways.
Ugh, I signed up for Crunchyroll back in the day when I only used two or three passwords for everything instead of using a password manager. Welp, time to finally change a bunch of passwords I guess.
Why would someone even sign up for this dog shit company?
Because that “dog shit” company is helping to fund dubs which I happen to like. Hidive is the only other real player in that market
Crunchyroll is pure cancer in every aspect
Monopolies mostly.
Some people feel that getting their entertainment material from the high seas is immoral or just more work than they want to do. That leaves them stuck with whichever monopolist has the rights to whatever it is they want to watch. Doesn't matter whether the company is any good or not.
