Crimson Collective Claims to Have Hacked Nintendo

Notorious hacking group Crimson Collective has claimed responsibility for a major breach of Nintendo's internal systems.

Crimson Collective says it has access to sensitive production assets, developer files, and backup data.

A screenshot shared by cybersecurity intelligence firm Hackmanac on X, purportedly showing folders labeled "Production Assets," "Dev Builds," and "Backups," allegedly exfiltrated from Nintendo's internal servers, gives weight to the claim.

If authentic, the breach could expose highly confidential information about ongoing game development projects and proprietary tools.

Nintendo has not yet issued an official statement regarding the alleged breach.

The Japanese gaming giant, known for its uncompromising stance on intellectual property protection, has historically taken aggressive legal action against leaks, but the scope and veracity of this latest claim remain unverified.

Author's summary: Nintendo faces potential data breach by Crimson Collective.
