LOL, didnt take them long 

The [s:1xa7lkh1]videogame pirates[/s:1xa7lkh1] homebrew fans will be delighted.

Nintendo already released a statement about this:

"Nintendo is aware that a hacking group claims to have compromised Wii U security. However, we have no reports of illegal Wii U games nor unauthorized applications playable on the system while in Wii U mode. Nintendo continuously monitors all threats to its products' security and will use technology and will take the necessary legal steps to prevent the facilitation of piracy."

The 'while in Wii U mode' implies that the hackers have probably adapted some backdoor Wii exploit to work on the Wii U. There have been plenty of Wii U firmware updates... I'm sure the next firmware will close that backdoor. Biggest nuisance is that future 1st party releases will now require another firmware update before you can play them.

Sad, but not unexpected news.Whilst i'm sure groups like this are feeling smug, looking forward to being 1st to hack the PS4/Next Gen Xbox etc etc, all this is really doing is forcing us into even more forms of DRM/always on-esq forms of copy protection.

Firmware update required......please connect to internet before play yadda yadda.

Homebrew i'm 100% for, but there's a world of difference between that and just blowing something's security wide open, just to say your group was the 1st to do so and then f*cking off to the next platform, leaving others to endure the actions taken to try and repair damage that you caused.

Just really short sighted in my view.
