Nintendo Server Hacked
First Sony now Nintendo has apparently been hacked according to a statement from the company itself, with the hack occurring 'a few weeks ago'.

According to a report on the USA's ABC, "Nintendo was targeted in a recent online data attack, but no personal or company information was lost, the Japanese maker of the Wii game console said Sunday."

The detail is, "The server of an affiliate of Nintendo Co.'s U.S. unit was accessed unlawfully a few weeks ago, but there was no damage, company spokesman Ken Toyoda said."

According to Nintendo, "There were no third-party victims. But it is a fact there was some kind of possible hacking attack."

Unlike the recent attacks on Sony Music, however, the Nintendo hack did not come from Lulzsec.

"We're not targeting Nintendo", a spokesperson for the hackers tweeted, "We like the N64 (gaming console) too much — we sincerely hope Nintendo plugs the gap."
