Hackers Who Hit Sony Now Breach Nintendo's U.S. Website

Nintendo said today that hackers breached a server for its U.S. website but no customer information was compromised. The hacker group Lulzsec, which is behind other breaches of Sony websites earlier this week, claimed responsibility.

Lulzsec posted a server configuration file as proof of its involvement yet said it wasn't targeting Nintendo. "We just got a config file and made it clear that we didn't mean any harm," the group said this morning via its Twitter. "Nintendo had already fixed it anyway. <3 them!"

Lulzsec has claimed responsibility for earlier breaches of Sony Pictures and Sony BMG sites, posting databases of coupons, free download codes, and registration information of users who signed up at those sites. It also defaced PBS after its newsmagazine Frontline aired a story that wasn't 100 percent complimentary of Wikileaks.

Why? What's the point? Is this how this guy gets his jollies off or what? And why isn't he getting arrested if he's announcing it?

I'm really getting sick of these hacker trolls. They were better when they were just a bunch of idiots who hung around 4chan and hacked minor websites no one cares about.

To show that even Nintendo can get their security shit together and Sony can't?

Also explains a lot of things that Sony does ironically

Again, someone needs to hunt these scumbags down and break every bone in their bodies. Only then will they get the message that nobody gives a flying fuck about their cause. Hackers are worthless pieces of shit who do nothing but destroy. losernosex or whatever the dispshits call themselves have brought it on themselves.It's time companies take the kiddie gloves off and send these assholes to the clink for ten to life.

Neither can PBS, apparently. Those assholes.

I'd like to see you give up everything in your life that has been made better and/or more secure because of hackers.

(Like messageboards, for example.)
