Nintendo Faces Major Cyberattack
Nintendo, the Japanese gaming giant, has reportedly been hit by a major cyberattack from a hacking group called Crimson Collective.
The group claims to have accessed Nintendo's production assets, admin data, and previews, and has shared an alleged screenshot as proof.
- Crimson Collective is not new to high-profile cyberattacks, having targeted Red Hat earlier this year.
- The group reportedly stole around 570GB of data from GitHub repositories and attempted to contact Red Hat for extortion demands.
The hacking group has taken responsibility for the attack, but Nintendo has not released an official statement to confirm the claims.
Several sources, including The Gamer, have reported on the situation, but a direct comment from Nintendo is still pending.
