Yes, yes, yes!!!

Now release the Switch 2, so we can play free games...

Especially the Keycard versions. To teach Nintendo and its fake format a lesson.

Bring the unlimited power of fun to power

You're better wait for actual conformation from someone credible. Wouldn't be the first hacking nothingburger.

Damn, that serious, huh?

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Damn, that serious, huh?

It could easily be 10tb of beaver porn with peculiar file structure

 

[Fbh]

Nintendo ninjas and lawyers right now:

Nintendo ninjas and lawyers right now:

Yep, I've seen Robocop 3, I know how this ends.

 

[begotten]

No point speculating on what could happen. This shit usually amounts to nothing and results in no further public information outside of the announcement of a breach (whether true or not).

Check KADOWAKA Corporation last year.

 

[ReyBrujo]

Now release the Switch 2, so we can play free games...

Nintendo already released it

It looks like this file structure has zero source code, be sure they would have shown the repos if they had accessed it (just like with the Pokémon leaks). Looks more like the website and shop infrastructure.

 

[Mr Moose]

A bunch of folders. This means nothing to me.
What are they claiming to have obtained?

 

[Horseganador]

It's hard to believe, and if it were true, the hackers could start hiring lawyers and raising a few million dollars.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

A bunch of folders. This means nothing to me.
What are they claiming to have obtained?

Usually hackers with actual leaks demand ransom and post a sample of data to TOR, not a screenshot of a bunch of folders.

[Angry_Megalodon]

I hope Nintendo raises prices so they can hire the best ninjas out there.

[Darkkahn]

Oh man, not the topics!

 

[kpopSuperstar]

And what did they get?

Folder names? who gives a shit.

 

[adamsapple]

aka the neogaf special.

 

[Hookshot]

And posts nothing of interest.

As long as my CC details are fine and they aren't showing games I won't care.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

aka the neogaf special.

That depends on what type of 'beaver' we are discussing.

 

[RCX]

Nintendo's retained lawyers excited they're about to bill enough for their third beach house.

 

[Guilty_AI]

So, they named themselves Crimson collective because they only hack red-themed corporations?

 

[Mr Hyde]

Beaver porn?

 

[StueyDuck]

they must release the emails from execs just laughing saying, "these idiots will pay these prices and smile while we didn't even do anything to warrant it".

 

[winjer]

I have no sympathy for Nintendo.

 

[Imtjnotu]

They looking for the Epstein files too?

 

[Thurible]

The Nintendo ninjas are going to have a field day, aren't they?

 

[Impotaku]

Welcome to nothing burger can i take your order?

 

[Signalis]

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

Great.

Now, drop everything related to the next Zelda.

 

[Davevil]

 

[cash_longfellow]

That depends on what type of 'beaver' we are discussing.

 

[Spukc]

Time to remove internet access on my switch 2

I just did this, better safe than sorry.

I just did this, better safe than sorry.

Like the f is the point of NSO

 

[Hypereides]

You're better wait for actual conformation from someone credible. Wouldn't be the first hacking nothingburger.

If they're serious about this, they would release a sample of compromised data to draw potential bidders.

EDIT: You beat me to it:

Usually hackers with actual leaks demand ransom and post a sample of data to TOR, not a screenshot of a bunch of folders.

Anyway, I'll dig about this for a bit.

 

[ADiTAR]

Looks like they breached their PR department. hopfully they can cut a better Metroid Prime 4 trailer.

 

[Trilobit]

Does anyone know what this folder could relate to?

 

[Oberstein]

Edit : removed.

 

[kevboard]

Does anyone know what this folder could relate to?

maybe a new mousepad line for the Joycon 2 mouse mode?

 

[RCX]

So, they named themselves Crimson collective because they only hack red-themed corporations?

KFC on alert

 

[Boo Who?]

Hopefully they have the emails making fun of Phil for trying to buy them.

 

[Sintoid]

They stole all the friends codes

 

[Hypereides]

Nothing about Nintendo up on their TOR site as of yet (They're collaborating with scattered LAPSUS$/shinyhunters). But, they got some pretty notable companies on their site, like Disney/Hulu and FEDEX.

Remember when Sony was hacked and we thought Sony obviously kept it's unannounced secret stuff more secure because the leaks showed nothing....when in reality the leaks showed everything.
