Lulzsec twitter claims nintendo is on the ball.

Re: Nintendo, we just got a config file and made it clear that we didn't mean any harm. Nintendo had already fixed it anyway. <3 them!

**Seanr** · 2011-06-06 12:08

yup!

**Myrrh_Quetz** · 2011-06-06 14:29

I gotta say. I'm really enjoying Dead Nation. It reminds me so much of Zombies Ate my Neighbors and I fucking loved that game so much.

**Jefe** · 2011-06-06 14:53

So I dled inFAMOUS and have a game left but which should I get? LBP or Wipeout? I like getting my trophies as long as it doesn't feel like work and are enjoyable. I heard Wipeout's is a pain in the ass, is it true?

**Pikarya** · 2011-06-06 14:55

lbp

**Myrrh_Quetz** · 2011-06-06 14:58

I played Wipeout for a bit and honestly, I have no idea how I earned a lot of the gold medals. It's a weird ass game but so is LBP. I'd say get LBP if you're not that much of a racer fan.

**Kaisha** · 2011-06-06 17:50

WipeoutHD is frustrating as fuck if you plan on getting anything more than the bronze trophies in it. LBP is a breeze in comparison, although it'll take time to platinum due to needing people to play your created levels.

**Jefe** · 2011-06-06 18:51

Damn, not too happy about building a level, let alone wait for 50 peeps to like it.

Well, I can add one to the count, Meteora. Still have my LBP1 disc (Well, all my discs, I keep my games, but w/e), so if you need any multiplayer trophies or the 2x puzzle items, I can give you a hand.

**Tomiko** · 2011-06-06 22:16

I can stop by as well if you let me know when its up. Haven't played it in forever, but I still have it as well.

Spain Detains 3 in PlayStation Cyberattacks
By DAVID JOLLY and RAPHAEL MINDER
Published: June 10, 2011

PARIS — The Spanish police said Friday that they had apprehended three men suspected of computer hacking in connection with recent cyberattacks on Sony’s PlayStation Network as well as corporate and government Web sites around the world.

The National Police identified the three as the local leadership of the shadowy international network of computer hackers known as Anonymous, which has claimed responsibility for a wide variety of attacks.

Anonymous is made up of people from various countries organized into cells that share common goals, the police said, with activists operating anonymously, but in a coordinated fashion.

One of the “hacktivist” detainees, a 31-year-old Spaniard, was detained in the southern city of Almería sometime after May 18, the police said. He had a computer server in his apartment in the northern port city of Gijón, from which the group attacked the Web sites of the Sony PlayStation online gaming store.

The same computer was also employed in coordinated cyberattacks against two Spanish banks, BBVA and Bankia, the Italian energy company Enel, as well as government sites in Spain, Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Iran, Chile, Colombia and New Zealand, the police said.

The two other men, both also Spanish and in their early 30s, were picked up in Barcelona and Valencia. The statement did not make clear the timing of those detentions, but a spokeswoman for the police said all the detentions had occurred “recently.”

The spokeswoman, who did not want to be identified per department policy, said all three were subsequently released, without bail, pending formal charges.

They were expected to be charged with forming an illegal association to attack public and corporate Web sites, a charge that faces a potential sentence of up to three years in prison.

The police opened their investigation last October, after hackers overwhelmed the Spanish Ministry of Culture’s Web site to protest Spanish legislation increasing punishments for illegal downloads.

It was not immediately clear how much of a role they allegedly played in the recent attacks on Sony. About a dozen Sony Web sites and services around the world have been hacked; the biggest breaches forced the company, which is based in Tokyo, to shut down its popular PlayStation Network for a month beginning in April.

The Japanese company has acknowledged that hackers compromised the personal data of tens of millions of user accounts. Earlier this month, a separate hacker collective called Lulz Security said it had breached a Sony Pictures site and released vital source codes.

Sony has estimated that the hacker attacks will cost it at least ¥14 billion, or $173 million, in damages, including information technology spending, legal costs, lower sales and free offers to lure back customers.

Mami Imada, a Sony spokeswoman in Tokyo, said she had no information on the arrests and declined to comment.

The police said that they had analyzed more than two million lines of chat logs since October, as well as Web pages used by the group to identify the leadership in Spain “with the capacity to make decisions and direct attacks.”

Anonymous members made use of a computer program called LOIC to crash Web sites by flooding them with denial-of-service attacks, the police said.

Among recent attacks, the hackers also brought down the site of the Spanish National Electoral Commission last month before regional and municipal elections. It was that attack, on May 18, that led to the first detention in Almería.

The movement against the anti-piracy law has been closely linked to the broader youth-led political movement that have occupied Puerta del Sol in Madrid and other city squares since May 15.

These protests have called for a complete overhaul of Spain’s political system — and the laws targeting illegal downloading.

Epic Games Forums to me

show details 10:02 PM (31 minutes ago)

Dear TheSheen,

Our Epic Games web sites and forums were recently hacked. After some downtime, they're back up and running now.

The hackers may have obtained the email addresses and encrypted passwords of forum users. Plaintext passwords weren't revealed, but it's possible that those passwords could be obtained by a brute-force attack on the encrypted passwords. Therefore, we have reset all passwords. Your new password at the bottom of this message.

The Unreal Developer Network (UDN) hasn't been compromised. Thankfully, none of our web sites ask for, or store, credit card information or other financial data.

We're sorry for the inconvenience, and appreciate everyone's patience as we wrestle our servers back under control.

Are the forums that have been hacked so far using the same board software? I'm getting the feeling the last couple have just been script kiddies abusing a security holy.
