Hackers claim to have breached Nintendo and stolen internal data. They posted a screenshot showing folders that contain various Nintendo files, but their assertions remain unverified.
Details of the Allegation
A screenshot was shared by the X account Hackmanac, which monitors verified cyber attacks. The hacking group stated, “Who said we did not have Nintendo topic files?” This incident follows a previous high-profile breach of Red Hat’s GitHub repositories.
Nintendo has not publicly responded to the allegations. It is currently unclear if any customer data was compromised in the breach.

The ongoing risks highlight the vulnerabilities organizations face in protecting sensitive data from cyber threats.
Uncertainty Around Data Compromise
As of now, Nintendo has yet to confirm the breach or the status of customer data security. The lack of information raises concerns among stakeholders.
The cybersecurity landscape remains challenging, prompting users to stay vigilant and companies to enhance their security measures.
