Nintendo Says Claimed Crimson Collective Hack Did Not Leak Data

The company told Sankei that only some website-display servers were defaced.

Overview

  • Crimson Collective asserted last week that it breached Nintendo, though the claim remains unverified beyond the group's posts.
  • Nintendo stated it has not confirmed any leak of personal information or of development or business data.
  • Reporting via Sankei indicates only external servers that display Nintendo’s website were affected, with no evidence of customer impact or wider intrusion.
  • Recent Pokémon-related leaks were framed as unrelated, tied to earlier Game Freak exposure rather than any new compromise at Nintendo.
  • Game outlets characterize the incident as low impact, with no expectation of forthcoming leaks about Nintendo’s unreleased titles or internal operations.
