About This Breach
A SHA-1 hash is not a plaintext password, but SHA-1 is weak by current password-storage standards. Reused passwords increase account-takeover risk, while a birth date, email address, and username can make fake subscription or account-recovery messages more convincing.
Payment data, physical addresses, and private content are not confirmed data classes for this record. A match does not prove a current compromise; change old passwords, enable multi-factor authentication, and verify Funimation recovery requests through official channels.
