At the time, there was no official response from the video game giant.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in an update, Nintendo has shared a statement with <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sankei.com\/article\/20251015-6H66THKNKJKJLCI2BKXWZYB72Y\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Sankei Shimbun<\/a>, and it appears to suggest there&#8217;s been no personal, development, or business-related leaks.<\/p>\n<p>Some external servers displaying Nintendo&#8217;s website have reportedly been compromised, but there&#8217;s apparently no evidence of this impacting customers or the company. Here&#8217;s a rough translation including the statement shared on 15th October 2025:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Nintendo responded to an interview with the Sankei Shimbun on the 15th, saying, &#8220;We have not confirmed any leak of personal information, and there has been no leak of development or business information.&#8221; Some external servers that display Nintendo&#8217;s website were defaced, but the company said there was no evidence of damage to customers or intrusion into the company.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So, at this stage, there&#8217;s been no personal data leaked, and it seems there seemingly won&#8217;t be any secrets popping up about the company&#8217;s games or business operations.<\/p>\n<p>This update follows a story from earlier this week about the supposed hacker behind the Pok\u00e9mon &#8216;Teraleak&#8217; reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2025\/10\/pokemon-z-as-source-code-and-beta-builds-have-now-supposedly-leaked\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leaking the new game&#8217;s source code<\/a> and beta builds.<\/p>\n<p>If we hear any significant updates about this story, we&#8217;ll let you know.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text source\">[source <a class=\"external\" title=\"External Link: https:\/\/www.sankei.com\/article\/20251015-6H66THKNKJKJLCI2BKXWZYB72Y\/\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sankei.com\/article\/20251015-6H66THKNKJKJLCI2BKXWZYB72Y\/\" target=\"_blank\">sankei.com<\/a>, via <a class=\"external\" title=\"External Link: https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/ninpatentswatch.bsky.social\/post\/3m3bf46rlrc22\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/ninpatentswatch.bsky.social\/post\/3m3bf46rlrc22\" target=\"_blank\">bsky.app<\/a>, <a class=\"external\" title=\"External Link: https:\/\/www.gonintendo.com\/contents\/53815-rumor-hacking-group-claims-to-have-successfully-hacked-nintendo-update\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gonintendo.com\/contents\/53815-rumor-hacking-group-claims-to-have-successfully-hacked-nintendo-update\" target=\"_blank\">gonintendo.com<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1753583950_71_avatar.jpg\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Liam Doolan\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Liam is a news writer and reviewer across Hookshot Media.
