Nintendo is also under hacker attack: the culprit is Lulzsec, the same group that hit Sony platforms. However, the situation is different: there is no personal data leak.
New hacker attack, this time against Nintendo: there is truly no peace for electronics companies in recent weeks!
After the Sony services shutdown precisely due to a well-orchestrated hack, it is now Nintendo’s turn.
The security system of the Super Mario company has been breached, but fortunately, no personal data of subscribers were stolen. Nintendo itself officially announced this, stating that the group responsible for the action only left a mark of its passage: a configuration file from a Nintendo server was transcribed online, thus making the hacker attack evident.
As if that weren’t enough, the same LulzSec team (this is the name of the group of tinkerers causing significant trouble for gaming companies in recent weeks) published a brief, half-joking statement on their Twitter profile: admitting to breaching the Nintendo system, they stated that there were no harmful actions because their love for the famous N64 console led them not to inflict more damage.
Lulzsec would therefore have issued a sort of warning to Nintendo, urging the company to address this security gap.
Will there be a new move, as happened in the case of Sony, or has the Nintendo hacking ended here?
