Have I Been Pwned: Crunchyroll Data Breach

In March 2026, the anime streaming service Crunchyroll suffered a data breach alleged to have impacted 6.8M users. The exposed data is reported to have originated from the company's Zendesk support system where "name, login name, email address, IP address, general geographic location and the contents of the support tickets" were exposed. A subset of 1.2M email addresses from an alleged 2M record dataset being sold was later provided to HIBP.

The Associated Press news director in Dubai, via Bluesky:
Reporters at the White House were given a lid about 12 minutes after the president's social media announcement, so it is unlikely he will make an appearance tonight to elaborate on his statement. (The press office can always lift the lid but this rarely occurs.)

Been saying this for a while, but will repeat it for emphasis: “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

If you read a particular traditional, national news coverage of whether or not the U.S.S. Tripoli was struck by Iranian missile fire, be on the lookout for a pop-up from the news outlet's prediction pools actively taking bets on whether the U.S. and Iran agree today to a cease-fire.

And if that doesn't disgust you to the core, this might not be a Fedi account for you to follow.
