Nintendo's US server hacked

Looks like it isn't only Sony that's getting the bad rounds. The week of E3 is here, but while Sony and Microsoft held their press events today, Nintendo was busy with something else altogether. Nintendo this past weekend confirmed that it had been the victim of an attack targeting its U.S.-based servers. According to a company statement sent to Reuters, the attack did not affect any user information.

“The server contained no consumer information. The protection of our customer information is our utmost priority,” Nintendo of America said. “We constantly monitor our security.”

Lulzsec, the team of hackers behind the deluge of Sony hacks as of late, is supposedly the culprit, though the group said via its Twitter feed that it loves Nintendo and didn't mean any harm.

The group continued to show its support for the company with several more pro-Nintendo tweets:

Nintendo has yet to comment further on the matter. The company plans to show off the new iteration of its motion-sensing Wii console tomorrow. Dubbed the Wii 2, the device is said to be referred to as Project Café internally and will supposedly feature a controller with a touchscreen display.
