Terrible since there are no alternative services offering cr exclusive anime. The flaw of an anime world dominated by one player.
They better give us refunds and monetary compensation. |

Hopefully this is a quick fix. Delays in anime are never a good thing.
I haven't had any malicious downloads but hopefully most people won't be affected by this attack. |

Apparently, according to reddit, the .exe encrypts your entire HDD. I did not download the file. Yet I scanned my laptop using antivirus, it seems that nothing has been detected.

I generally don't support the death penalty... but I'm prepared to make an exception for hackers who interfere with my anime watching.

This is NOT going to ever happen just because some a-hole wants to try and hack a subscription service website. As for the use of the apps. I can no longer access the service using the app on my IPhone. |

Ok one competitors exist Netflix, amazon primes sub account for anime. The apps not loading though the web site redirects. Server issues for app. HiDive.com is a legal competition. Though there web site places the sub titles in the middle of the screen [/url]

It's probably best to do that periodically as a rule of thumb. It's almost a certainty that someone out there has your password to this site or that site, they just haven't used it yet. |

It's probably the same type of asshole(s) that crippled ANN recently. Can people stop hacking things and screwing over others? That shouldn't be asking for a lot, but knowing humanity that's unfortunately asking for the impossible.

Man why can’t these douches just leave the animu sites/services I use alone?

Netflix or Amazon must have sent an online assassin to attack the competition from within. Theres a war coming...

Note that this is ancient advice that is no longer recommended by the leading security professionals. NIST, which writes the official recommendations for the US government, has completely withdrawn that requirement this year, and the original NIST author of the 2003 guidelines which included the 90 day limit has said that's one of the requirements he deeply regrets making back then. It's vitally important not to share passwords between accounts, and long passwords are essential, but things like requiring special characters in passwords and forcing changes every 90 days are now deemed bad. |

So, if we prorate to how much service you're losing, you'd be cool with 25 cents per day that the content's unavailable, right? That's rounding up to 25 cents, mind you. *eyeroll* |
