All I could think about when I heard md had been hacked was how bad I feel for the mangadex team. You guys have been working so hard to accommodate all new users, orphans from sites that got taken down... and then this :') Proud of you guys!

Thank you for the announcement and quick actions to fix this and prevent this from happening.

I have a question only:

the hacker was able to use the session codes stored in the db when you hit "remember me" to bypass any password and 2FA requirements, as these are stored for a couple of months

I don't have any developer skills or in knowledge however, is this (sessions codes stored for a few months) something normal? I though that by anyone using 2FA, only they would be able to access an account on any website. Only other thing I could think of is using the same session_id/cookie saved locally on the web browser if there is any.

Don't shoot me if I said something dumb though. Just trying to understand more.
