Topic: Is Nintendo at risk?

Do you think Nintendo, as well as Microsoft and other smaller companies are at risk of the hack that's sending Sony Pictures on edge? These 'Guardians of Peace' seem like a big deal, but they don't seem to hack gaming divisions/companies. Maybe if Nintendo or another makes a game similar to the movie concerned.
Your opinions?

There's nothing we can do if Nintendo is at risk.

Staying up at night, losing sleep, and posting on forums will not solve any issue.

Microsoft is already at risk from a different group stating they will shut down Xbox Live forever on Christmas day, whether it's true or not who knows but it does seem suspicious as after that 2 Xbox 360 patches have been released in close succession when before the console was pretty much abandoned.

Microsoft was already hacked weren't they?

Wow... Yikes, the companies better step up their game if they don't want to be the next victim.

Yes and apparently that was the first stage of their attack where the second is the Christmas Day situation mentioned above.

Lizard Squad was taken down a few days ago.

Thanks for the info, didn't know that. Looks like I'll be getting the Hendrix DLC for Rocksmith 2014 after all

Nintendo is so backwards that it can't be hacked.

Lizard Squad was always just a bunch of DDoS script kiddies anyway. Literally kids, in most cases. The worst they did was unrelated to gaming too, calling in fake bomb threats and SWAT raids, and I do hope they are prosecuted to the full extent of the law for that.

Anyway I would say Nintendo is least at risk. The companies most at risk are those with the largest online communities, which is pretty much everyone except Nintendo. Steam, PSN, and Xbox Live are first on the chopping block.

nintendo has so much money, if they lost $250,000,000 every year, they wouldn't go bankrupt untill 2032

You didn't read the first post did you?

I don't think so. There isn't much provocative material that can be connected to them, so nobody sees them as an interesting target, I think. That's not to say they'll never be on the receiving end of hackers or the like, but their online structure isn't really an interesting target to begin with.

Xbox live as far as I know hasn't been hacked to the level of PSN has been. The worst is EA services on Xbox live were broken but Xbox live itself hasn't been brought to it knees.

Nintendo apparently does not have the robust online features that the other systems have, so doesn't that mean it's kinda easier to hack into? Then again, these hackers make it look like some 6yr old kid can turn the online system of a device upside down.

I dunno. There was an incident some years ago where hackers shortly gained access to Nintendo's online services, but they didn't steal any sensitive information, and Nintendo fixed the leak immediately. No reports of hacks ever since, so they're either not a popular target, or well-secured.

Unlike PSN and Xbox Live, very little personal info is stored on Nintendo's servers

Nintendo is safe, they are the least controversial company in the industry, even your grandma likes them.

Only console my grandma owns is OG Xbox. She uses it to watch M*A*S*H DVDs and Humphrey Bogart movies.

That's pretty hilarious actually.
