The titles have appeared on X and 4Chan, according to IGN, which first reported the leak.
Sony’s Crunchyroll also was among those compromised. The premiere episode of isekai anime Re: Zero also leaked.
The content was first spotted online on August 6. Since then, shows including Heartstopper Season 3, Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld and films such as Plankton: The Movie and Spellbound also have leaked, according to IGN.
Sources said the unidentified partner is Iyuno, a media localization provider.
Iyuno posted the following “Security Incident Update” today (Friday, Aug. 9) on its website:
“Iyuno is aware of a recent security issue, involving unauthorized access to confidential content. Protecting our clients’ confidentiality and ensuring the security of their content is our highest priority. We are actively investigating this security breach to mitigate any potential risks and identify the responsible parties. When there are material changes or information we will make further statements.”
In addition to Netflix, Iyuno customers include Disney, HBO, Warner Bros. Discovery, A+E Networks, Amazon Studios, BBC Studios, DreamWorks and eOne, according to its website.
This is our hard work.
It is meant to be released on its due date, something we, as animators, really look forward to.
It is incredibly disrespectful and just straight up annoying. You think you are doing some kind of service to the community but you are not. https://t.co/UX0lCrZbuZ— Kass Chapa・アニメーター 🇲🇽❤️🇵🇸 (@kaoyumari) August 7, 2024
