Last week, a group of hackers calling itself the Crimson Collective claimed to have infiltrated Nintendo’s systems and obtained a wealth of private data. This sparked concerns among fans and industry watchers about the security of Nintendo’s networks.
This week, Nintendo responded to these claims. According to an official statement provided to Japanese publication The Sankei Shimbun, Nintendo has investigated the situation thoroughly. While some servers hosting Nintendo’s webpages may have been defaced, there is no indication that personal or business data was compromised.
Nintendo assured fans that it has found no evidence of any breach involving sensitive business or user information. The original claim by the Crimson Collective surfaced on Twitter on October 11, 2025, accompanied by a screenshot showing folders labeled “production,” “staging,” and “dev.”
Despite these alarming visuals, Nintendo remains confident that no critical data related to its games or services has been leaked. The company is continuing to monitor the situation to ensure the safety and security of its platforms.
