FUNimation Entertainment Statement Regarding One Piece — Simulcast And Streaming On Hold
“As anime fans know, FUNimation Entertainment had planned, with the authorization of Toei Animation, Fuji Television and Shueisha, for the first ever online simulcast of the series ‘One Piece’ on May 30th at 9:00 pm CDT., just one hour after its premiere on Japan’s Fuji Television. Unfortunately, we have determined that the FUNimation servers were compromised, even though we employ strict security standards. An unknown individual accessed and posted episode 403 online and as a direct result of this illegal act, all U.S. and Canadian fans will be deprived of access to this great anime series for the immediate future. We will make every effort to locate and prosecute the perpetrator(s) to the fullest extent of the law and will provide updates regarding this most serious matter.”
edited 6/1 to update date and timing.

From what I could tell from previous research, it didn’t seem like somebody “hacked” the episode from Funi’s servers, but rather, somebody uploaded it on the public servers early, and was able to be found easily by URL changing.
