Crunchyroll incident
| With how Netflix and Anime Strike are handling now, I won't be surprised if fansubs to pickup exclusive licenses.
| What happened?
| some reddit post said the cr website is 'hacked' to install virus disguised as an official anime viewer app
| I mean... it will at most take them 1-2 days to deal with it, it's not like cr is gone for good.

| Yea I think they had it fixed the same day, but the site wasn't hacked just the DNS server so no information was lost. The fake cr site said to download their 'new' desktop app to watch stuff and auto downloaded a ransomware exe file, user still had to run it but
| If anything, it's just a punch in thr dick to that CR guy who was on and on about illegal streaming site is spreading malware
| The infected program is a fork of taiga, a lightweight anime tracker for Windows
https://github.com/erengy/taiga
| Interesting it looks like they deployed a update to infected machines with taiga's auto-update that tries to clean up the infection
| Why would you clog up your devices with apps when you can just use perfectly functional websites?
| It was a trojan .exe file, to boot.
There was also ransomware in it if you ran the file and rebooted the computer
