According to sources, low-quality versions of episodes of such series as “Arcane” Season 2, “Heartstopper” Season 3, “Dandadan”, “Ranma ½”, “Terminator Zero”, as well as the movies “Spongebob” and ” Mononoke”. Videos are embedded with “For Internal Use” watermarks and include notes about music and sound effects. The leaks began to spread through social networks, and later appeared on torrent sites.
Netflix confirmed that the leak was due to the compromise of one of its post-production partners. The company is actively working to remove illegal content from the Internet. This situation caused serious financial losses, and Netflix has yet to release an official statement regarding the incident.
“Arcane” is one of the most successful game adaptations, winning more than 22 awards, including four Emmy Awards and five Annie Awards. It first aired in 2021 and is still ranked #28 among the best TV shows on IMDb.
This leak has become a serious challenge for Netflix, given the scale of the losses and the significance of the leaks. The series affected by the leak are among the most anticipated releases of the year, making this situation even more critical for the company.
