We are writing to inform you of a security incident that may have affected some of your registered information with AnimeLeague.

What Happened
On the 24th of July 2024, we discovered that our website was compromised by a malicious actor. Upon investigation, it was determined that the unauthorized access resulted in the access of some of the database tables.

What Information Was Involved
The compromised data includes the following information:

Usernames and/or Full names
Email addresses
(Only if Registered for the AL Forums) - Hashed Forum passwords (encrypted)

Only the encrypted passwords used for the forums were breached. We do not store any other passwords. The main point of breach was the forums and this should not affect event registrations or ticket purchases.

We can confirm that NO card or payment details were taken as we do not store this information on our server. No other personal information such as addresses, paypal logins, phone numbers or anything of that nature were taken either. We do not store such information as per regulatory requirements.

What We Are Doing
We have taken immediate and decisive actions to address the situation and protect your information:

Secured the Vulnerability: We identified and removed a backdoor placed on our server by the malicious actor.
Enhanced Security Measures: We have implemented additional security measures to prevent future breaches.
Notified Authorities: We have informed the relevant authorities and are cooperating fully with their investigations.
System Review: We are conducting a thorough review of our systems to ensure their integrity and security.

What You Can Do
To protect your information, we recommend the following steps:

(Only for AL Forum Users) Change Your Passwords: If you have not already done so and use the forums, please change your passwords for AnimeLeague and any other accounts that use the same email/password combination.
(Only for AL Forum Users) Monitor Your Accounts: Keep an eye on your accounts for any suspicious activity and report any unauthorized actions immediately.
Be Cautious of Phishing: Be wary of any unsolicited communications asking for your personal information.
