Netflix is among the companies affected by a security breach at a post-production partner that led to a massive online leak of anime titles, including season 2 of Arcane, Terminator Zero, Ranma ½ and more.
“One of our post-production partners was compromised and footage from several of our titles was unfortunately leaked online,” a Netflix spokesperson said in a statement to Deadline. “Our team is taking aggressive action to remove it from circulation.”
According to IGN, which first reported the leak, the titles appeared on X and 4Chan.
Sony’s Crunchyroll was also among the victims. The first episode of the Isekai anime Subject: Zero has also leaked.
The content was first seen online on August 6. Since then, programs such as Heartstopper Season 3, Jentry Chau vs. the Underworld and films like Plankton – The Movie And Banished have also been leaked, according to IGN.
