    How far would you go to get Nintendo's attention to tell them that their security is not efficient? Aside from stripping naked wearing nothing but a Mario hat running around their HQ screaming the Zelda theme song, you could hack their Wi-Fi site. Apparently, such was the tale of the hackers who actually succeeded in taking down the Metroid Prime: Hunters leaderboard, scores and usernames. Downtime was brief but they may have gotten their point across. Shortly after the attack, the page reappeared seemingly untouched. The question is -- effective or not? Did these hackers make their point? Or did they merely have their 15 minutes of fame? [Via QJ Net]
