Nintendo has confirmed that its US website has been hacked. A group called Lulz Security, or LulzSec, gained access to one of the site's servers, copying and then publishing a configuration file.
Last week LulzSec also hacked Sony Pictures' website, again publishing user information online.
Thankfully, Nintendo's server contained no customer information - a fact confirmed by both the hackers and the hacked.
In an email sent to Reuters, Nintendo stated:
'The server contained no consumer information,' Nintendo said in a statement to Reuters. 'The protection of our customer information is our utmost priority...We constantly monitor our security.'
'Re: Nintendo, we just got a config file and made it clear that we didn't mean any harm,' said a LulzSec Twitter post regarding the matter. 'Nintendo had already fixed it anyway. <3 them'
What do you make of the news - did Nintendo and Sony have it coming or is it just another case of hackers ruining everyone's fun? Let us know in the forums.
