Hi everyone! Just saw this information posted to another forum. Seems to be the in thing to do today. I suspect Microsoft will be a target at some point as well. Hackers attack Nintendo's servers in United States | Reuters ___ Hackers attack Nintendo's servers in United States LOS ANGELES | Sun Jun 5, 2011 12:09pm EDT (Reuters) - Nintendo's U.S.-based servers were attacked several weeks ago but no consumer data was stolen, the company said on Sunday. Nintendo is the latest company to be targeted by cyber criminals in a hacking attack. In April, hackers broke into Sony Corp's servers and exposed the personal information of more than 100 million of its customers. No group has taken responsibility for that attack. Nintendo's break-in did not affect consumers' information, the company said. "The server contained no consumer information. The protection of our customer information is our utmost priority," Nintendo of America, the company's U.S. unit, said in an e-mailed statement. "We constantly monitor our security," Nintendo said. On Sunday, the hacker group Lulzsec said it had attacked Nintendo in a statement posted on its Twitter feed. Lulzsec is the same group that broke into the servers that run Sony Pictures Entertainment websites last week, and claimed attacks on U.S. PBS television and Fox.com. Lulzsec tweeted it had taken one file but "we didn't mean any harm. Nintendo had already fixed it anyway." Nintendo is expected to unveil its new gaming console and successor to its hit product, the Wii, on Tuesday. It will be the first home console to enter the market in five years.

Lulzsec tweeted it had taken one file but "we didn't mean any harm. Nintendo had already fixed it anyway." Pah-lease . . . tell that to your cellmate.
Code War, just the beginning of a new form of attack VS battlefield loosing human life. I wonder if this is the new era of so called "Modern Warfare".

Yeah the HACKERS need to leave SONY alone... and go hack all they want at Nintendo and Microsoft! Nuff Said!
Good thing for Nintendo, is that if they had to take down their online multiplayer not many people would notice :bigsmile:
