Nintendo has admitted they are amongst the latest hits by hacker group LulzSec – Just a day before revealing its Wii successor console at the E3 Conference in Los Angeles.
Last week LulzSec claimed another hack on Sony Pictures boasting that they could have but didn’t attack the already flailing gaming division and the cyber-jokers today threw out an offer after infiltrating Nintendo and taking files, none of which are reported to be personal data on the level of Sony’s recent slip-up.
LulzSec state in a tweet that they “love Nintendo and Sega, if anything we’d hack *for* them. If you’re listening Nintendo/Sega, you, you uh… you want Sony hacked more?”
Along with Nintendo, FBI cyber-security entity Infragard, were also victim of an embarrassing and much more serious LulzSec hack.
The public-private security company was intruded via its website with 180 user’s accounts exposed as well as details of US hack attempts on Libyan infrastructure. Heavy stuff and a field day for LulzSec who claim to be “the world’s leaders in high-quality entertainment at your expense” and seem to be thriving off a lot of high-profile attacks recently. Who’s next to be hit?
