Sorry, folks. No compromised info and no loss of services means no free games.
Thank you for a whole lot of nothing, LulzSec.

They just hacked an FBI affiliate, too.
These guys are now starting to play with fire. They think this shit's a game, but they're only raising the stakes to the point they get nailed.

I read that they hacked into the site, notified Nintendo of the vulnerability and left it at that.
I think these are the same guys that hacked SonyPictures.com with a simple sql injection. They managed to extract over a million accounts and claim nothing was encrypted, not even the passwords.

I wonder if Microsoft has started beefing up their security since all this crap has been going down with other companies.
@ricochetguro
I think it's already been confirmed by Sony. They could be full of shit regarding the details though.

I spoke about this in the other LulzSec news topic. They're just showing us how people/organizations aren't as secure as they should be....which is good, as it'll enable the exploits to be patched.
@BkV
They're not just "showing us". They're also releasing private information about a lot of users and they simply don't care.

Well we don't need to have our personal information compromised, for Nintendo to give us free stuff. Because unlike Sony, or Microsoft, they actually give free games out, on their downloadable service. Ala why 3DS owners are getting ExciteBike 3D, that Pokedex thing, and eventually FlipNote 3D all for free.

Everything I've ever bought from Wiiware or VCon was bought through Wii points cards or on amazon. I think I'm going to keep it that way for my future e-purchases
These guys keep hacking easy targets. Seems like they don't have the balls or skillz to hack someone tough like Microsoft.
It'd be terrible if hackers got our friend codes. Then all they'd have to do is make sure that all of us also have their friend codes, and we'd be screwed.
"the hack for their own personal entertainment"
Wow, seriously? I mean, I felt like it was all just a game to them, but they keep that attitude up, they're going to be playing "Don't drop the soap" in the pin next.
If these guys were legit, then they'd have been hired by Nintendo (or whatever security company Nintendo is using) to hack their system. Why do something for free when you can get paid? Plus it's a lot less jail-worthy that way.

LulzSec, just like Anonymous, are a bunch of children with too much time on their hands and no lives. Someone shoot them all in the fucking head or get the Feds to arrest their idiotic asses already. I don't give a shit about "no casualties". Their criminals, period.
@Scissors - Even if you used your credit card on your Wii, DS and (likely) 3DS it never retains any of the information on the unit or the server you made the transaction with.
The information provided only exists as long as it takes for the transaction to be made.
Its annoying, archaic and at the same time, highly effective at keeping you safe as a consumer.

Does their avatar mascot remind anyone else of a caricature representation of Sterling?

If this delays the eShop again, ima go to work on the hackers with a pair o' pliers and a blowtorch.
You hear that hackers? I ain't done with you by damn sight. Ima get medieveal on your ass.

I guess you missed the news about LulzSec hacking an affiliate of the FBI and then trying to extort the users for money after they stole their data.

Thanks I didn't know that, it actually sounds more convenient for me to keep buying Wiipoints cards then

Inconvenience ftw?
Hackers are on a fucking rampage. I got an email alert from my credit card company telling me thousands of accounts had been compromised because someone hacked some company's servers. A couple weeks later PSN got hacked. Now this. WTF?

If you ask me, since no info was gained or loss, they didn't really do anything. Like whats-his-name above me said, they're just some kids with nothing better to do; although I did like their Tweet: "Don't know what PS3 users are complaining about. They got a chance to get fresh air and were rewarded with free games a month later." I chuckled, as Microsoft didn't reward me with free shit the five thousand times I had to replace my Xbox -- and they can't even blame that on hackers.
Even though Nintendo is just as vunerable to attack as Sony, the Big N doesn't save personal account info. It may be inconveinent, but its apparently a safer approach.
It sounds more like the hackers wer just poking around for fun than anything else. If they were determined to bring down Nintendo's server in the same way as it did with PSN, then we'd be reading a different headline.

I'm wondering how long they can keep this up before some fellow hackers get fed up with them disrupting their ability to play games and tries to counter hack them. I'm guessing it will be if and when they try to mess with anything connected to XBL
I was hacking major companies before it was cool but was a story about my hacking legion of sextards, The Panda Prostitutes (or just THE PP for shits and giggles), ever mentioned on DTOID? NOOOOO!...PREPARE TO GET HACKED DTOID BECAUSE I'M GOING ALL OUT, THIS AND JIM MOTHERFUCKINGBRITISHFATCUNT STERLINGS REVIEW OF WITCHER 2 HAVE PISSED ME OFF FAR TOOO MUCH1!!!!111!!!1!
This is what hackers do mostly. They break into stuff not to change or steal anything but just for the challenge.
