Hackers Attack Nintendo

The same group of hackers who are responsible for the hack attacks on Sony claimed responsibility for hacking into a U.S. based Nintendo server. Lulzsec posted some of the Nintendo data online, but said it was not targeting Nintendo, and the vulnerability should be plugged.

The attack comes as Nintendo this week launches its new online service for its 3DS hand-held game machine.

LOL, Sony is probably shaking a rootkit in anger.
 
Ya know, firms should try to contract those guys for security testing. Cybermercs is a field that hasn't really been explored fully yet.
 
At least Nintendo's vulnerable server had no customer information and caused no downtime for anything.
 
that makes me pissed off at lulzsec who deliberately did something against Nintendo. They havnt done anything bad. They dont release firmware to change the functionality of the Wii. They didnt remove backwards compatability. They are made for good wholesome non-threatening fun.

And the more I read the lulzsec website, the more I get the feeling they are a spin off from anon (those from anon that wanted to do more malicious stuff, ie data theft)
 
See, they wern't targeting Nintendo. Look how easily it would be for them to go after any other company besides Sony if they wanted to.

Really shows you just how vulnerable any of the big companies are.

Yeah but nintendo? That's like berating a kid with a fisher price airplane for not being a better pilot.

I feel bad for them. Considering all this kinda started over anti-piracy stuff I don't understand why they target Nintendo whos answer to piracy is "Umm please don't?"
 
The person that mentioned Nintendo should contact Lulzsec, if they did, the authorities would be at the hackers door. I doubt Lulzsec wants anyone to contact them.
 
Looks to me like they're firing Bullet Bills from howitzers at Sony, but are whispering "your fly is down" to Nintendo.

Not the armed Bullets, either. The ones with the huge grin.
 
Nintedo 64 a super computer with a cartridge reader mounted on top of it.

But seriously how the hell do you do online gaming with a WII? Nintedo still probably uses cartridges to carry their data around
 
Nintendo didn't store credit card info, and friend codes and such so the info to be found is pretty pointless.

Anyhow, the pastebin notes of who LulzSec is is more interesting.
 
I think it was more of a "Heads Up Big-N" than what was done to Sony. They specifically stated that Nintendo was not targeted for an "attack".
 
I suspect that many years of work on securing a billion holes in Windows has made Microsoft less vunerable to this type of activity than Sony and Nintendo.

Attack is a strong word for what Lulz did, they just got server config files as proof they could, said they like Nintendo and Nintendo has already taken steps to fix its vulnerabilities, sorta like a wake up call.

Sony was an attack, sorta like surprise buttsex! Nintendo, a small pat on the back saying surprise, this is what you need to fix.
