Crunchyroll Responds to Claims of Data Breach

Crunchyroll is investigating a potential data breach linked to a third-party vendor.

Key points

  • Rumors of a cyberattack surfaced on social media, prompting an investigation by the streaming service.
  • The breach allegedly occurred in mid-March through Telus, a company that provides support services to Crunchyroll.
  • Crunchyroll believes the exposed data is limited to customer service tickets, rather than broader account information.
  • The company states there is no evidence of ongoing unauthorized access to its systems.
  • Users are advised to update their passwords and enable two-factor authentication as a precaution.
Why it matters

This incident highlights the risks of third-party vendors, as a breach at a partner company can still put your personal information at risk. It serves as a reminder to use unique passwords and monitor your accounts for any unusual activity.
