Club Nintendo Japan hacked
As translated by Kotaku, Nintendo said customer information compromised in the attack includes full names, phone numbers, and home and email addresses. Happily, the service doesn't hold credit card information. Kotaku notes the attack is apparently limited to Japan's Club Nintendo, and other countries don't seem to be affected.
Unsurprisingly, Nintendo is strengthening Club Nintendo's security as a result, starting off with making users' old passwords invalid and requiring them to make new ones.

Cokes Why would they Nintendo? They haven't done anything wrong, have they?
A company doesn't necessarily need to do anything wrong to be hacked. The hackers likely found a hole in their security and went from there.
