Anime streaming service Crunchyroll has confirmed a data breach involving customer service ticket information following an incident with a third-party vendor, after a hacker claimed to have accessed user data and internal systems.
The streaming site, which Sony acquired from AT&T in 2020 for $1.18 billion, operates as a joint venture between U.S.-based Sony Pictures Entertainment and Japan-based Aniplex. Crunchyroll has more than 2,000 titles in over 12 languages and serves 15 million subscribers worldwide, per its website.
