Hackers are despicable
So happy he/they didn't ruin it for everyone here.

10k btc as ransom for a site that doesn't even have ads, common lol 😅

Fuck these assholes hackers.
Some ppl really have way too much free time.

[DeavL]

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

 

[Ceildric]

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

 

[Khalic]

HOMBREEE xDD

Glad to see you're back tho.

@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.

 

[Kendrakirai]

They were never going to negotiate, 10K BTC is over half a BILLION dollars.

 

[jtwebb]

Very scary
Will reinforce my account just to be sure

 

[Richman]

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. >_>
