Toei Animation is known for making some of the biggest anime in the
industry. From Dragon Ball to Sailor Moon and beyond, the company oversees
plenty of top-tier titles, and it draws the attention of millions daily. So
of course, you can see why all eyes are on Toei Animation after the company
confirmed one of its websites was hit by a big hack recently.

The update comes from IT Media over in Japan as Toei Animation addressed
the hack publicly for the first time. The report confirms the hack was
noticed on March 6th and addressed immediately. The company would not say
what part of its website was broken into, but Toei Animation did shut down
its online shop as a precaution either way.

Toei Animation is now working with a company that specializes in IT
security to discover what info was compromised. The pair are wanting to
learn whether any personal info was hacked alongside internal documents and
emails. Toei Animation also said it has shut down outside access to its
internal systems in light of this investigation, and there is no word on
whether customer-facing portions of its website will be limited moving
forward.

As you can imagine, the leak has taken fans by surprise, but Toei Animation
shouldn't be too shocked. It is one of the biggest names in anime with a
lot of projects on hand. Not only is Dragon Ball Super: Super Broly ready
to bring the studio back to theaters, but Toei Animation is also busy with
TV series like One Piece. And if any of these projects get leaked, well –
you can bet their studio will have something to stay about that.
