Nintendo of America Server Hacked...For Fun...Yep...

Looks like it's an all out war for for hackers going against big name companies since Sony had gotten hacked. Next big company in line? Nintendo. Why, I don't know, but this is just getting out of hand.

GameSpot has reported that Nintendo had confirmed to the Associated Press that the servers were "unlawfully accessed recently". The bright side? No user information had been taken, as confirmed by Nintendo, in reply to GameSpot's report.. The hacker group LulzSec had also taken information from Sony Pictures' official website - going up to 1 million user information stolen.

LulzSec on the other hand said that hacking Nintendo of America was just for "the lulz" and that there was no harm in doing it. "We're not targeting Nintendo. We like the N64 too much; we sincerely hope Nintendo plugs the gap."

I don't know what's up with all these hacking occurences, but as long as E3 gains more attention than all of this, this'll be nothing more than just a small thing that anyone will forget soon.
