Netflix Experiencing Largest Data Leak Crisis with Multiple Shows Affected

TapTechNews August 9th news, according to What's on Netflix and IGN reports, Netflix is experiencing its largest data leak crisis in history.

In the past two days (August 7th and 8th), we have seen a large number of unreleased animated shows and movies being deliberately leaked online, such as the second season of 'Arcane: League of Legends', the third season of 'Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-', the third season of 'Heartstopper', and there are unconfirmed reports that 'Stranger Things' has also been affected.

It is currently unclear how many Netflix movies and TV shows have been affected by this leak, but Netflix is quickly tracing the source of the leaked materials hosted and deleting them from the internet.

Netflix acknowledged in a statement to TheWrap that the reason for this leak incident is that a post-production partner has been attacked, and the Netflix team is actively taking actions to delete it and will 'vigorously' pursue the responsibility of the relevant attackers.

In addition to the above shows, this leak incident has also affected 'Spellbound', 'Theatrical Version of Mononoke Hime', as well as the 'SpongeBob SquarePants' spin-off 'The Plankton Movie', and also the entire series of 'Terminator: Zero', 4 episodes of 'Ranma ½ (MAPPA Remake)', 6 episodes of 'Dongda Dong', 'The Fairly OddParents' and 'Jen Chui Chow and the Underworld Society', etc.

TapTechNews noted that HBO said it has also encountered a similar cyberattack incident, and as a result, it affected the release of the season finale of its hit series 'House of the Dragon' season 2, and HBO attributed the leak to a third-party international distributor.
