Sony's problems with its networks do not seem to be abating and the users are becoming more and more wary of the security steps
taken by the companies. And now the gaming giant Nintendo Co. has announced that its US website has been hacked. Though, the company stressed that no customer or company information has been compromised but the mere fact that its network has been breached is enough to send a shiver down the spine.
Though, Nintendo is trying to downplay the incident claiming it to be very minor in comparison to PSN security breach. Lulzsec, the group behind Sony outage has claimed the responsibility for Nintendo hacking as well. The hacking group also posted some data online. The data is basically a "server configuration file" taken from the company servers.
Nintendo is not the only victim. Hackers, apparently breached FBI partner websites as well. Sony, which is still struggling with getting its network on its feet again, suffered yet another blow. The company's website was targeted again, this time by a Lebanese hacker group, which was responsible for breaching Sony Ericsson website recently. Sony refused to confirm the rumors.
Nintendo had recently launched a new online store for its 3DS hand-held gaming device. This store will sell exclusive 3D games for the console. It will also stock some older games which have been recast in 3D mode. The store is expected to go online from Tuesday in the US and Japan. With the latest breach, consumers would be justified in being reluctant to provide confidential financial data to the company.
