Last week, a group of hackers calling itself the Crimson Collective claimed to have infiltrated Nintendo’s systems and secured a wealth of private data. This alarming announcement caused concern among fans and industry insiders alike.

However, Nintendo has since responded to these claims. The company shared that it investigated the alleged breach and found that while some servers hosting Nintendo’s webpages may have been defaced, there is no evidence that personal or business data were compromised.

This update comes from the Japanese publication The Sankei Shimbun, which Nintendo provided with an official statement regarding the incident. In the statement, Nintendo assured fans that it has discovered no indication of any compromised business or user data.

The original report from Crimson Collective surfaced on Twitter on October 11, 2025. The group posted a screenshot showing several folders labeled “production,” “staging,” and “dev,” implying access to internal files.

Despite these claims, Nintendo remains confident that no critical information related to its games and services has been leaked or stolen at this time. The company continues to monitor the situation closely and prioritizes the security of its systems and user data.
