Nintendo Alleged Data Breach: Threat Actor Demands $2M Ransom

ShadowByte$ claims to have stolen ~859MB of Nintendo internal data — including HR surveys, employee names and corporate emails — and is demanding $2 million to prevent public release; researchers found file metadata and historical survey records that lend some credibility, but Nintendo has not confirmed the incident and it is unclear whether the breach was direct or via a third-party (e.g., TinyPulse).
