Nintendo has confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that had been hacked, but no important information has been stolen or compromised. The video game maker says it does not know the identity of the attackers, but the group claimed the attack LulzSec. The Pirates have just published LulzSec configuration file servers Nintendo.

org and stealing information from a server million users of Sony Pictures. This is the first time that Nintendo is officially the international target of hackers, according to the Wall Street Journal. However, as explained LulzSec when they issued the file server web Nintendo, Friday was all before the day of a massive attack against the servers of the FBI.
It was a response to the characterization of hacking as an act of war by the Pentagon which issued its decision public last week. Hackers say they have penetrated the servers's U.S. office, issued 180 credentials and changed page InfraGard Atlanta, an organization affiliated with the FBI.
The latter has so far refused any comment. The site in question was unavailable yesterday and today announced that it is under construction. One of the people involved in these operations, Karim Hijazi, PD G Unveil, said the group LulzSec tried to extort money and information exchange to leave it alone.
According to the statement he released, his company and his family were threatened. The FBI investigated the matter. The events take a strange turn. LulzSec began the tradition of Anonymous. He launched attacks motivated by a specific cause related to the current computer. The fact that the FBI is now and he plays the blackmailers, if allegations are proven, is a turnaround that is passed on the wrong side of hackers.
