The hacking group takes on Nintendo in one of those 'we're only doing this because we love you'-type attacks.

LulzSec, the group of hackers that has caused no end of headaches for Sony, has now claimed responsibility for an attack on Nintendo. The renowned video-game company said that one of its online gaming servers in the U.S. had been compromised, but that no private data had been stolen. LulzSec took to Twitter to explain that its hackers just wanted to point out some of Nintendo's security flaws, because they “like the N64 way too much” to do any actual damage to the Japanese company. The hackers have started asking for donations to keep up their antics, which they vow aren't malicious and are merely aimed at bringing some fun to the internet.
