Overview

• Cyber intelligence firm Hackmanac reported that the Crimson Collective posted a screenshot showing folders labeled "Nintendo topic files."
• Wccftech published the report and noted that Nintendo had not issued any statement or confirmation as of Saturday at 10:03 a.m. EDT.
• Public evidence at this stage is limited to the screenshot and the hacking group's assertion, with no independent verification.
• Earlier this month, Red Hat confirmed a Crimson Collective breach of its private GitHub repositories, with 570GB of data stolen.
• The group previously claimed it made extortion demands to Red Hat, and prior breaches at game studios such as Insomniac in 2023 illustrate the sector's exposure to leaks of project and employee data.
