I'm hoping it's not true, but it's coming from BULBAPEDIA, of all things. :21: Link |

From what I read they were indeed attacked, but only one file was stolen and it was quickly recovered and re-protected. 'Lulz Security' claims to be behind it, apparently saying they 'meant no harm by it'.

Hah! I liked this: I guess they don't feel the same about Sony. XD Blues Yeah, they likely stole the file just to prove that they had been able to hack into Nintendo's server. It's the kind of thing some people get paid to do: finding vulnerabilities for companies so that they can be cleaned up before trouble starts. Still... if such a thing is possible, I'm a bit worried about the whole e-Shop thing. (Coming tomorrow!  ... :21:) Maybe I will have to stick to those prepaid cards. Oh well. |

Yeah. I wonder what it had to do with the N64 though (I honestly don't know what the phrase "plug the gap" means. Excuse my lack of common knowledge. =p)...

Clearly they were doing it... for the lulz.
I guess Nintendo can just be happy they were fans, the truth probably is that that was all they could steal and that they were just trying to look cool after the fact.

Clearly they were doing it... for the lulz. YEEEAAAAAAH!  @chaotic Chao It doesn't have anything to do with the N64; the hackers were just big fans of Nintendo (because of the N64, apparently). And plugging the gap just means fixing whatever security hole allowed the hackers to get in, in the first place. It says they fixed the hole, so that's a bit reassuring, but I might be worried that there could be more holes. Or new holes, in that e-Shop update that's coming. The one that's literally less than 24 hours away. :21: (Unless it's delayed again.  ) |

We might as well get used to this, at least nothing was stolen this time. Lets hope a certain company doesn't get hit in the next two years. :12:

In more conservative company cases however, criminal charges are pressed regardless. That means you, Sony.

These guy have been hacking ton of Devs and companys websites and networks recently, I wished they would stop, it ain't right to be doing that crap, even if they havn't stole anyones money yet. It's cyberterrorism. Also they ruined a month of me lazing about playing online vidjagames.

The ones who stole PSN account data were the same ones who just 'breached' security and not done any real harm? |

Loken, as far as 'cyberterrorism' goes, I'm actually glad that they do this, at least, besides the PSN network thing(that was kinda a dick move). Hackers like these expose security holes that, because of their demonstration, are then patched up--that's usually the point of these exercises, not to steal data. Companies pay an big bucks for professionals to do just what these hackers are doing so no hacker with ill-intent will go through with stealing files, so these groups are (again, excluding the Sony hacks) doing the companies a free service.

These 'good' hackers also use methods and techniques that the paid hackers wouldn't think of as well. So its give or take on these kind of things.
Oh by the way guys Bethesda Softworks was hacked...and not by good hackers either. So better go change you passwords and all that jazz.

Yeah, SEGA Pass was hacked. They've been offline since June 16th. Not really a problem for me, since I don't use SEGA Pass, but I'm sure someone has been affected.

MusashiI'm sorry is i sound rude, but I must know: what good is doing 'criminal work' without the permission of the 'victim'? Yes, I acknowledge companies ask, pay handsomely pay, professionals to do this but let me ask Did Sony ask them to? Did Nintendo? If the answer is no, then their actions were criminal.
