I've received a decidedly large influx of spam very recently.
I'd say he probably sold the email list a while ago.

Just in time. I was *this* close to actually buying some manga.
(Seriously though, I'm going to buy some, you should too)

@Dragonfirewings if you aren't memeing, that was a user made banner for the affiliates link. There was a post about it recently(mar/9).
Thank you MD team for being open about all the issues.

Sad day cause of sad hackers, hopefully most users are indeed using different passwords for their different accounts.
I was afraid the leak would cause MD to shut down way longer or even permanently, I'm glad it got back up rather quickly.

My email adress is neither from work or school, but it is one of my personal ones, should I still change it?

It's an email account I don't really use anymore.

The ransom amount and his behavior at least indicates that the guy might have been no amateur, but he was not that much of a pro either. Have fun with my bookmarks, idiot. >_>
