Crunchyroll Working With Cyber Security Experts on Data Breach

by

Crunchyroll may have suffered a large data breach starting around March 12, 2026. The hacker claims to have stolen email addresses, IP addresses, credit card details, and passwords from nearly 100GB of Crunchyroll subscriber data. Users should protect themselves by immediately changing their passwords and updating or removing their saved payment information.

If the reports are accurate, a significant data breach has occurred at Crunchyroll. It appears a Telus employee – a partner company based in India – was responsible. The attacker reportedly gained access to Crunchyroll’s ticketing system using malware, allowing them to steal data directly from Crunchyroll’s database. Like many cyberattacks, this incident exploits vulnerabilities created by the chaos of data breaches to achieve its goals.

Crunchyroll Releases Statement on March, 2026 Data Breach

I just heard from Crunchyroll! We at TopMob reached out earlier today asking for information about that recent data breach, and they actually got back to us with an official statement about the cyberattack. It’s good to finally have some clarity on what happened.

We’ve seen the recent reports and are actively investigating with top cybersecurity professionals.

TopMob is monitoring the Crunchyroll data breach investigation. As a precaution, be careful of any emails pretending to be from Crunchyroll. Update or delete your personal information on your Crunchyroll account right away. If you use the same password for other accounts, change those passwords now, especially for accounts linked to your Crunchyroll subscription. Also, check your bank and credit card statements regularly for any unusual charges, and be prepared to freeze your cards if you see anything suspicious.

No further statements or updates have been provided at this time.
