Serves you right if your reaction to seeing a weird .exe in your downloads folder is to run it.

Yesterday Crunchyroll got it's DNS hijacked, anyone that visited the site would see a suspicious .exe downloaded to their computer. Users that were affected by the file report that it was ransomware and encrypted their files, as reported by Reddit users.
Although the site was hijacked the app was safe and no information so far was stolen. The site and app are currently down for fixes.
Edit: The site is safe now

Wait so did the .exe run itself or did they actually double click it after it automatically downloaded?

Good. CrunchyRoll was a mistake. They have a right to make money because of them being a company but the thing about anime places that still release shit with no cash flow other than pop ups is that the shows that were on those sites and not on crunchyroll actually build a more bigger fanbase. The bigger the fanbase, the more they are going to buy merchandise and more revenue from the company. Crunchyroll thought it would be a great idea to give a bit more to Japan's companies, which was a bad idea. Japanese publishing companies of anime (Viz, TvTokyo) don't release the same shit as usual. You know what they do? They invest that cash to another project or show that will rake more NEET bucks. GEE. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THEY ARE A COMPANY OR SOMETHING.
