Sony anime streamer Crunchyroll was breached | Cybernews

Cybernews reports that Sony-owned anime streamer Crunchyroll was allegedly breached through Telus, a third-party outsourcing provider, after a Telus employee reportedly executed malware that gave attackers access to Crunchyroll systems; the attackers claimed to have stolen about 100GB of data, including IP addresses, email addresses, credit card details, and customer analytics information, though Crunchyroll had not publicly confirmed the breach at the time of publication. The article says the incident allegedly occurred on March 12, 2026, may be tied to the ShinyHunters group, and raises risks such as fraud, identity theft, and phishing for affected users, especially given that the data was supposedly exfiltrated from analytics and support systems before access was revoked within 24 hours.
