Club Nintendo Japan hacked

Earlier today, Nintendo announced that the Japanese Club Nintendo website has been hacked. Personal data such as names, home addresses, phone numbers, and mail addresses may have been compromised.

Nintendo started looking into the situation after a significant amount of errors were detected on Tuesday. Between June 9 and July 4, the company confirmed that 23,000 unauthorized log-ins were made with 15 million attempts.

Users will need to change their passwords through email, as all old passwords will no longer work. Nintendo is now looking to improve security on Club Nintendo Japan.
