The next release could be practically anything and everything that LulzSec manages to grab from the Nintendo web server. What this space.
I'm trying to figure out what these hackers are trying to prove? This nonsense is becoming ridiculous... The idiots should be brought to book.
LOL; fixed it now. I was in a rush to be somewhere when I posted that.
:mad: Oh so what is their excuse now? There has been no Geohot incident with Nintendo. As with the PSN users, I can't see many Nintendo users sympathising with the the perpetrators.
Yeah, what's the deal? Not that hacking Sony was completely justified, but why hack Nintendo?
Because they can ... ?Quote:

I don't think they have any particular talents for hacking, probably just enough time to try anything that could work. I.e. time to step up security and ignore them.
No security measure is ever foolproof though.
That's why you have annual events like DEFCON where software industry players get hackers to line up and try and break their products - so they can try and identify possible security flaws straight off the bat. I remember there was a hacker one year who made himself something along the lines of $25k in prize-money - walked through Mozilla and Microsoft's security like it wasn't there - I think he broke Chrome as well ... and then two other pieces of software.
Fact is, not one company walked in there without their software being compromised in one way or another.
LulzSec strikes me as a bunch of script kiddies making use of some of the more obvious gaps in security in some of these server setups - and they're looking for attention. It's got nothing to do with revenge anymore.
Hey guys just to clear things up, Lulsec didn't actually take responsibility and they never stated that in their tweets either. One of the people on there who posted a link to a news article, even said that it's not lulsec due to the fact that they love N64 too much to break it...
Let the debating begin :p
Oh? So we have some irresponsible reporting here?
James? :p
