Nintendo servers Hacked

Nintendo has become the latest company to suffer an online security breach due to an attack by hackers, Lulz Security.

The Japanese game company said that a server of one of its affiliates in the US was attacked by the group some weeks ago.

2 Down, 1 to go. Not that Microsoft would admit to it.

Not really a "hacking" and they didn't want to. They just got the apache config file

Hacking Nintendo seems pointless to me but fair play. These sorts of people probably get out the fine china to eat dirt - waste of time and there's nothing beneficial about eating it.

they only did it to show that they could, they didn't do anything because they love N64 too much.

& Microsoft have hardcore security systems, probably why they are last to be compromised, if they can be which i'm sure they can.

Uh-oh thats not good. I'm surprised Microsoft haven't suffered from any of these attacks.

i dont see the point in hacking these servers the hackers get absolutely nothing in return apart from ruining other peoples' gaming experiences.

This particular group is doing it so that companies buff their security in case there's a malicious group which actually want to ruin people's gaming.
