IMPORTANT BREAKING NEWS!!!
I need to raise awareness of this situation ASAP. There's a massive breach that has been happening and its currently being ignored. It can lead to serious issues in the future if left unchecked.
Please share this tweet and like it for the higher ups can fix this serious issue. Now onto what is going on.
I have been contacted by a very credible source confirming the origin of the leaks for multiple anime lately and recently "Mushoku Tensei Season 3 Episode 4" that started to appear on Reddit.
Turns out it's not Crunchyroll causing the leaks. It's actually the Japanese VOD platform "b-ch"
B-ch is a Japanese VOD site ran by Bandai Namco. Yes, the same Bandai Namco with OPM. This is their @/BandaiChannel on Twitter
Now how did the Leak even happen? Here's the details and me explaining everything as best as possible.
In the left image I have attached to this post, is how the episodes are leaking. The highlighted reference id is Mushoku Tensei's reference id aka episode 4 on Bandai Namco's platform.
It shows the VOD container for the leaked episode opening and from there someone can use some simple tools to download the leaked episode. Basically they are accessing their site that has a clear vulnerability
"I know this is technical if you don't know what you're looking at or understand stuff like this"
However this is what has been happening and the reason so many episodes have been leaking lately days before the official release.
Apparently the platform was contacted after episodes started to leak, but they didn't take the warning too serious which led to Mushoku Season 3 Episode 4 being leaked along other new anime shows
We have a big win!
#StopKillingGames and #StopKillingInternet signed a letter against the UK govt blocking VPNs, and we SUCCEEDED!
We're proud to stand with @mozilla, @ProtonPrivacy, Reporters Without Borders, @amnesty, and major VPN providers to achieve this major victory
We also held our first major #StopKillingInternet partner meetup, with experts from around the world (see attached images)
This builds on the letter we signed back in May against the Online Safety Act with Mozilla and others. We signed because internet restrictions and software age checks threaten independent software, Linux ecosystems, modding, private servers, and ultimately game preservation by making end-of-life plans for games far more difficult. It also allows for lobbying groups such as the ESA to further lie and gaslight against us. They want to make their faulty reasoning into legal reality.
More major Stop Killing Games announcements are on the way! Stay tuned!
What about it? You own nothing and should be happy?!
People are no longer replying, but they do know what they’re up against now.
It caused Brazilian and Mexican lawmakers to join Stop Killing Games and propose new laws.
It revealed to hundreds of millions more people what’s at stake here.
And, speaking from conversations we’re having with lawmakers in the EU and the US, it caused a backlash that will go well beyond some replies under a tweet.
The US could soon make anonymous phone service a thing of the past.
The FCC is considering a new rule that would require phone companies to verify identity before activating phone service.
This could mean showing a government ID and providing personal details for a new phone number or renewal.
