Sharing this primarily in-light of the discussion in the latest Sony-hack story[1] on HN. Something being discussed was how common is shoddy enterprise security. Seeing a hack attempt against Nintendo fail by one of the same groups that hacked Sony recently was pertinent.

- Osmose 15y agoI don't know if you should consider this a failed attempt; the pastebin release implies that they were just "warming up" before the FBI attack. Perhaps they wanted more and failed, but perhaps they weren't aiming to compromise them like Sony.
- r00fus 15y agoPerhaps failure is a strong word, but clearly the attackers didn't gain anything of value - unlike every single Sony attack.
- bifrost 15y agoMost of these companies do not have security people, audits, or even really logging. People should be suprised when there is security IMHO.
