Nintendo, Bethesda, and Epic Games next to get hacked

Nintendo, Epic Games, Square Enix, Bethesda and Codemasters have all followed suit of the Sony PSN hack, with reports of phishing scams and customer information leaks running rampant. LulzSec and Anonymous, two of the largest faces of the recent wave of cybercrime, have been linked to several such attacks, whereas neither group has claimed responsibility.

nobody really cares anymore unless you're not a gamer

Eh sucks to be those people.

OneHandNow · 06-13-2011, 04:19 PM

More free games!

**Dorby** · 06-13-2011, 04:38 PM

Who cares...

MrGiggles · 06-13-2011, 06:05 PM

Weird.

Anon and LulzSec usually claim responsibility for the shit they do, right? If they deny it, it probably wasn't them. Or maybe they're working on a press release and wanna keep tight-lipped until then? I don't think phishing isn't really their style either.

edit: Goddammit, the article later says LulzSec pimped the Bethesda hacking. Way to stay consistent, G4. :<

Lulz?

**darkshark** · 06-13-2011, 06:57 PM

Phishing isn't even hacking, it's just users being dumb and not knowing how to read their address bar.

This is pretty much dumb.

Listen here, you prepubescent ass spawn - You should really be investing some money into counseling instead of buying video games in the first place... (but you probably don't have a job, car, friends etc. so maybe ask Santa for it this year, k?)

If this is going to turn out to be a full-blown hackers-doing-dumb-shit rampage, it's going to backfire.

But like DS said, phishing is dumb. It's not real hacking -- just relying on the fact that people aren't going to be observant or do their due diligence in making sure shit's legitimate.

I can't wait for gaming as an industry to collapse and gaming as a hobby to be reborn.
I will donate to the cause of finding a way to bootleg video games.

**Reincarnate** · 06-14-2011, 03:44 PM

I just want a return to the olden days
