Nintendo LulzSec attacked by the blackmailer?

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.

They claim however that it is mainly because they like the Nintendo 64 and they do not want to hurt the firm. They therefore call on to fill the flaw they exploited. The group is becoming more of him. The identity of its members and so far unknown, but they caused a stir by hacking PBS.

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.

This kind of group generally tends to avoid this kind of action to keep good public favor and continue to play the virtual Robin Hood. Things are still changing rapidly and could quickly lose LulzSec friendly image he had in publishing a false article about appearances by Tupac for a report criticizing the negative tone on Wikileaks or stealing coupons from Sony to expose his incompetence.
