Spanish police say they've arrested a hacker who threatened to go public with personal information he found in a Nintendo database on about 4,000 of the company's users. Nintendo's Spanish division, Nintendo Ibérica, was approached by the hacker, who was seeking to blackmail the company, Spain's Interior Ministry said Monday. The hacker had apparently found the company's database on the Internet, and he allegedly tried to cut a deal with Nintendo, threatening to both publish the information in an online forum and lodge a complaint with Spain's Data Protection Agency if his demands were not met. Nintendo contacted law enforcement about the issue in early February. The database contained personal information on about 4,000 users, the Interior Ministry said. Nintendo ignored his demands, and the hacker published some of the data in an online forum. He intended to eventually publish the entire database, the Interior Ministry said. Spanish authorities did not n...

Plextor has been hacked. Just days after announcing a new series of solid state drives, the digital storage company has found its U.S. site defaced by a digital vandal calling himself " ViciOuS ". The altered page declares "Hacked by ViciOuS", and includes a shout-out to fellow hackers, a link to what appears to be a hacker oriented website, and even a legally dubious claim to copyright. On Plextor's website, the attack appears to be limited to its U.S. site, as the company's European and Asian websites have been left unchanged. A search using snippets of text found on the defaced page shows that similar hacks have occurred on several other websites as well. The attack coincides with the U.S. launch of Plextor's new M2 line of SSDs, which supports the latest 6Gb/s SATA and offers some of the fastest speeds on the market. Whether the timing of this attack was intentional or merely a coincidence is undetermined.

The Australian and New Zealand shopping site of cosmetics retailer Lush has been hacked just weeks after a similar breach occurred on the UK site.  Credit card details and other intimate information of shoppers have been exposed. If you visit the Lush Cosmetics Australian  website  you will find a single banner page announcing that the site has suffered a "Privacy Breach."  This is contained as a single JPG image with no other links on the page.  In fact if you use your favourite search engine to find sub-pages, they all return a 404 error.  It would appear that the entire site has been removed from the server and the single banner page put in its place. In part, the site statement says: We are sorry to have to announce that the Lush Australian and New Zealand websites have been hacked.  We have been alerted today to advise us that entry has been gained and customer personal data may have been obtained by the hackers. We urgently advise custom...
