Nintendo Says No Data Leaked After Crimson Collective Hack Claim

The company told Japan's Sankei Shimbun it only found defacement on external website servers.

Overview

  • Crimson Collective claimed earlier this month to have breached Nintendo and shared an image purporting to show internal assets after previously targeting Red Hat.
  • Nintendo said it has not confirmed any leak of personal information and that no development or business information was exposed.
  • The company described the incident as limited to some servers that display its website, with no evidence of customer impact or intrusion into internal systems.
  • Recent Pokémon material circulating online is being linked in reporting to 2024's Game Freak "Teraleak" rather than any new compromise of Nintendo.
  • Eurogamer reports Nintendo sought a subpoena to Discord in April as part of its investigation, and the current status of that effort is not public.
