I know important documents have been leaked online related to the design and operation of the already veteran Nintendo Wii console that appear to be the result of an attack on the systems of the company BroadOn, a company that collaborated with Nintendo in the development of Wii hardware and software.
The leak seems to be serious, since they have begun to appear on the network Highly relevant documents regarding Wii, including the complete source code of your systems, the design documentation and all the materials related to security and other aspects of the console. The filtering is therefore complete as it seems, which will undoubtedly be a concern for the company despite the fact that two generations of systems have passed since Wii was in stores.
For now nobody has claimed the theft of this data, but they have already started filtering them into various blocks of information across the network including boot systems, security diagrams, Verilogs of components, the SDK of the operating system and all its source code, etc. Among the data there are documents from BroadOn, which has led to suspect that the attack and theft of data has occurred on its servers.
At the moment it seems that no more current information has been stolen from the company, although it is not ruled out that more details will be leaked in the coming days. Presumably, Nintendo will soon start legal measures They are within their power to limit the scope of the dissemination of this information and its potential impact on the plans of the company, or its technology partners involved in designing the console.
From igamesnews we will not provide links that can help the diffusion of the stolen materials.
Old demos of SpaceWorld 1999 have also appeared online
In principle, in relation to this leak, emulator-generated videos have begun to appear on the network from the source code of Nintendo's technical demos that were used or planned for possible use at SpaceWorld 1999, the Japanese video game fair. completely focused on the Nintendo itself that is held annually between 1989 and 2001.
In this case it is software referring to the Nintendo 64 console and you can see these demos below:
