Re: Nintendo suffers hack attack: US server compromised but no customer data stolen,
After reading this I must say, a lot of you seem to have completely missed the point of what LulzSec is doing and seem to have a grave misconception on what a hacker is. Of course the latter is too be expected as the media depict hackers as blight on the society. Fact of the matter is, without hackers the none of us would be here on the world wide web. Hackers built the Internet. Take some time to look up what a hacker really is. Take some time to look up how the Internet came into being.
Hell, take some time to go read about what LulzSec has done. They aren't going to result in stricter laws. In their own way they are fighting against these stricter laws.The government makes it an act of war to hack and so they take down an FBI affiliate. They are having fun and putting the fat cats in their place. What's wrong with that?
Personally I think saying Nintendo has "suffered" from a hack attack is more than a little bit of an embellishment. How is it suffering if nothing was taken, nothing was defaced, and the hole was plugged? Seems to me a better title would be "Nintendo Benefits from Hack Attack".
And seriously, go read. It won't kill you, I promise.
Side note: It wasn't a member of LulzSec that was arrested. Someone goofed, and LulzSec laughed.
