Hacker hacks MyAnimeList to put your favorite anime at the top
Check it out:
On Wednesday (the 10th), MyAnimeList was indeed hacked, and the site remains under maintenance to fix the problem. Before the site went into maintenance, some users realized the cause of the alarm. As the screenshot shows, the hacker changed the anime's name to " LET'S ALL LOVE LAIN ," which means "Let's all love Lain."
This message directly refers to Lain Iwakura , the protagonist of the anime/manga Serial Experiments Lain . Furthermore, site visitors noticed that the ratings for this anime had been altered to give higher points. In other words, the hacker essentially tampered with MyAnimeList to favor Serial Experiments Lain, which appears to be their favorite anime.
Synopsis of Serial Experiments Lain:
Serial Experiments Lain is a psychological and science fiction anime known for exploring philosophical and existential themes. In the story, Lain begins receiving messages from a classmate who committed suicide, revealing a hidden reality in the virtual world called "Wired." As Lain delves deeper into this digital world, she confronts questions about identity, consciousness, and her own reality.
