Volunteer-run pirate Manga website attacked, loses hashed passwords, has ‘nobody’ to fix the mess

A “scanlation” website for Manga has admitted that its members credentials have been stolen and are now for sale online.


MangaDex.org, rated as the world’s 1,024th-most-trafficed website in March 2021 by Amazon’s web marketing outfit Alexa, has been offline since that month when the site admitted it had been compromised.

The site was already in trouble over copyright because its core service is hosting scanned Manga that volunteers translate into different languages, which rather diminished publishers’ chances of securing distribution in nations outside Japan.


ManagDex has therefore endured Pirate-Bay-style whack-a-host hijinks and copyright takedown requests.
