    Apparently Nintendo was hacked by the guys who are attacking sony: source. No sensitive information and no personal details were obtained but Nintendo confirmed the breach. So yeah, no company seems to be safe from these guys. They say they are ''helping'' by pointing at holes in the system but they go ahead and release personal details. These guys are bringing important heat on themselves, they better be sure they are completely anonymous. 
     
    *edit* Yeah the title is wrong.

    Why does every so-called hacker group have a name that sounds like it was conceived on either 4chan or Something Awful?

    Likely because a decent number of them did originate on 4chan or Something Awful. I'm not sure what reasoning they have for attacking Nintendo. I mean, I can kinda follow their reasoning what with Anonymous and the other groups all having attacked Sony but Nintendo? It seems more like an attempt to merely make a name for themselves. Then again, LulzSec are good at what they do: they attacked an FBI owned website and then tweeted about it under the hashtag of #FuckFBIFriday, and shared all the information that they could via the hack. It's odd that all of this is happening so quickly but the companies really need to do something to re-secure themselves, or it is going to get worse and worse as more and more groups join the fray. When they attacked the FBI website they also left this as a reminder of their work:

    I still think it's an interesting story even if nothing major happened after LulzSec managed to gain control over the site. The fact they managed to gain control over the site in the first place is news enough to me, due to the fact Nintendo doesn't seem to have done anything to annoy the hacking groups out there.

    Probably because Anonymous is so heavily associated with 4chan. As for the latter, I'm of the high opinion that Something Awful is full of nothing but pretentious dicks.

    They aren't though. This hack did virtually nothing to Nintendo and their Sony hack didn't even hit Sony's game division, though I'm sure they want everyone to think it did.

    They are just doing this to get in the headlines, they want to look like big boys but they don't have the computing power to pull of anything big or the wit to do anything clever.

    Definitely! I hope their confidence is poorly based though because even if you're 'fighting' for some reason, annoying the FBI probably is not the way to go. Unless your fight is against the FBI, which seems unlikely.

    I'll give you the latest hacks. Guess I'm just so used to people saying the PSN hack was "pointless" (regardless of the millions and millions it cost Sony) that I assumed you were lumping that in with these new ones.

    They're the worst. Durrr we're doing good by letting innocent people not be able to use the hardware and software they purchased. It's like the idiots never realized that it wouldn't be a problem if they spent their days doing something more productive than hacking.

    I didn't see this coming. It's interesting that this time round they didn't leak out any inside data and this looks like a genuine effort by LulzSec to expose a hole in Nintendo's security, but put alongside their previous actions this only makes the whole situation more confusing. When they said they were going to hack Sony to begin with they didn't offer any clear logic as to why they were doing it, when they did attack Sony they said that they were only exposing security flaws and that they weren't just showing off hacking skills, but then leaked a bunch of data for unknown reasons anyway, and now this. These guys certainly seem to be skilled hackers, but even if they have some idea of why they're doing this now I'm not convinced they started these attacks with any logic as to what they were doing.
