Nintendo Admits It Was Hacked, but Says Users Are Safe

Also somebody just donated Lulsec $7200. Just one person so they now have over $7800 and still no one has been able to arrest a single member of them yet. They also have just hacked sony again i think and released some more source code from the developers network
So people deserve to have their credit cards info stolen because a company is evil?AdumbroDeus said:
Okay.
I bet they do it for the lulz or to get some complicated revenge on the company so as longs they are relatively harmless dont mess whit them cuz they might get serious.
you can see a good example in MMO hackers the more you fight them the more dmg and hacks they do/make.....

Yeah I would go for this. Their intrusion and sony I'd chock up to more faulty security, as Sony has shown to have that before.Jumwa said:
The fact that they got flicked away without getting anything worth anything, I'd give more credit to Nintendo, professional as they are, for that.
If you are serious about what you say and have already done so would you mind telling me how I can do the same. Microsoft doesn't make it easy to delete credit card info without having to sit through an hour on the phone talking to a rep to get something so simple done.CardinalPiggles said:
OT: Have these people nothing better to do than hacking into Sony and others alike. I'm all for the "lulz" but this stuffs getting out of hand. Why not use those skills for something more useful rather than keep people from enjoying their games.
Yeah! Remember that story back a few days where M16 hacked Al Qaeda? There's hacking used for good! and cupcakes...Cadapalo said:
OT: Go ahead do whatever you want, as long as we don't lose PSN again thanks to you morons and your "crusade for lulz" then go ahead. But seriously guys, just let the people at Sony get back to work and let us enjoy the internet again without a story every day about some retarded organization going out and about thinking they're the good guys fighting for us after taking our information and showing it to every nutjob out there.
Lulzsec seems to me like a group of hackers who don't have power in real life, and because of that decide to use their superior hacking skills to be jerks on the internet, where they have a power that is recognized by the media and in turn gets them recognized.
It is, however, worrying if it is true that they broke in to Nintendo just as a joke.

I don't get the joke. Did they just fail to deliver the punchline and the lulz? Can someone explain it to me?
Hmmm.. I wonder if that card information isn't still stored somewhere in Microsoft's database... really wouldn't surprise me.CardinalPiggles said:
I srsly hope no one goes after steam though, and more so I hope that steam has decent security in place and a secure, encrypted, segmented database so that the damage of any breach will be limited... Hope you're listening Valve!!
Here's another Twitter quote from Lulzsec
"Things we would never harm: Sega, Nintendo, Neopets, Old Spice Guy, anyone that owns a boat for the sole purpose of being a pirate."
NEOPETS? Seriously? How are 8-year-olds hacking anything at all? I hope these twits get caught and get their asses handed to them.

Uh....yeah, they can still claim it. The main complaint isn't the intrusion, but the lack of internal safeguards...Sony continues to show that their passwords aren't really that good in the first place (using your name and default account information? geez), and their information protection fails basic security standards which should have been there ages ago. Nintendo didn't really lose anything and they fixed the hole immediately.dragongit said:
Of course nobody's foolproof, but the difference is made when your information is either laid bare for the taking, or simply not present at all and therefore inaccessible by nature. Nintendo's ridiculous culture of privacy holds them back from their full potential, but it has some upsides.
Alright, as a Sony user, all Xbox users have my prayer that your information is safe from hacking. No one, other than the handful of extreme xbox fanboys who were rubbing it in when our information was taken, deserves to go through the hassle of cancelling debit/credit cards and wondering if you should make a new e-mail address only for your consoles in order to protect yourself.
This 'Lulzsec' (which sounds like a bad drug personally) say they wouldn't harm Nintendo any further than they already have. Surprised, seeing as the 3DS ToS say they are allowed to brick your 3DS at any time. Well lets hope security takes a sharp increase and they can't hack into anything and just die in the background.

Nintendo= No information lost
Sony= EVERYTHING STOLEN. YES EVERYTHING. THEY EVEN STOLE HOWARD STRINGER'S DOG. IF HE HAS ONE.
Seriously. If your hacked it happens. Losing every bit of personal information your supposed to keep safe is not. It's like if the bank guarded it's vaults with a bucket of water and a wal mart greeter. You wouldn't leave money there. Sony should eat crow.
Sony is more permeable then swiss cheese. Stop making comparisons between them and sites that understand security better then I do. Which is to say websites with a security department.
So now the group is not only dicks but nostalgia blinded prejudice dicks... fantastic. Next thing you know they're going to start posting about the master race and supporting Hitler with there hacks... for the lulz.
it seems nintendo just trolled sony"we got hack but we didnt lose any real personal info"I think during the sony conference they will bring the guys who hack them and bring on stage just so they sony fansboys can crucifix them on will the show is going on
Yes, because saying something in an interview constitutes as an advertisement? If that's the best anyone can come up with, especially considering that the user I quoted specifically stated that they "officially marketed" OtherOS, then that's just pitiful to be honest (not attacking you personally). Plenty of companies say they will support this and that, I remember in an interview Resident Evil 5 was supposed to have a sun-heat system or something like that yet it never made it to the cut, is that "false advertising"?hawkeye52 said:
Why would they remove a feature? Simple, didn't work out. Cost them resources they would have rather spent elsewhere. Allegedly a security weakpoint. Low usage. Whatever. Not saying what they did was justified or not, but if there's one argument that I cannot understand it is the "it was advertised!" argument.
