Wii U hacked after less than 24 hours.
This allowed them access to information not meant for public viewing and seemingly giving them the privilege to delete other user's accounts.
The Debug menu contained developer forums which included information about potentially upcoming titles including Yoshi's Island Wii U, Soul Hackers, Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil.
Within hours of Trike going public with his findings, Nintendo had revoked Trike's access and issued a statement that the incident was not a hoax and that users will no longer be access the menu system.
Nintendo stated:
"It has come to our attention that some people were able to access a mock up menu on Miiverse following the launch of Wii U in the US,"
"Please note that this was only a mock up menu and has now been removed and is not accessible."
The ease in which Trike managed to access hidden parts of the online network has obviously raised eyebrows and caused concerns about Nintendo's ability to protect its users personal information.

I think its dumb that they basicicly banned him for it. if anything they should thank him for bringing it to their attintion that it was that easy to access that. i mean its not like he was secretly deleting users and passing on the knowledge about how to do so, he made it public which he should have done because of the fact that peoples info could so easly accessed.
JUST SAYIN!!
JUST SAYIN!!
