If you follow One piece anime every week for the last 20 years, you probably noticed no more episode is available this month.

On March 6th, Toei animation studio shut down their services following a server hack and stopped releasing their weekly anime (One piece, digimon ghost game, dragon quest 2020, etc.).
It also affects planed anime releases (Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero)

Toei didn't reveal a lot of information regarding this issue, except they are now on indefinite hiatus.


I never heard of such hack targeting animation studio before.
Maybe it's security issue now that more people are working from home due to covid ? if they closed their VPN/remote working network with other studios (korean animators, Seiyuu dubbing, etc.) until they fix their security that could explain the delay.
or maybe it's a ransomware and they lost too many assets to work with (don't they have backup?).


Edit:
Anidb is listing the next episodes of One piece for April 17th 2022.

Edit2:
Episode release and broadcast has officially been resumed on April 17th 2022.
new one piece episodes are back, I suppose other anime too :)
