Nintendo confirms server was hacked, no data lost however

Nintendo has said today that one of their servers was attacked by hackers but fortunately no personal info was compromised.


Spokesman Ken Toyoda says a Nintendo America server was "accessed unlawfully" two weeks ago, but there was no info taken:

There were no third-party victims. But it is a fact there was some kind of possible hacking attack.

Nintendo says they have no leads as to who was behind the hacking attempt.

The attack follows at least 8 successful hacks of different Sony-based services, leading to 102 million consumers having their data compromised.
