Nintendo DSi is hacked

Just as Nintendo thought it had beaten the pirates back, their assault has returned with a vengeance and a victory, resulting in the DSi being hacked despite Nintendo thinking it was impregnable.

The DS had its issues, but the DSi was thought to have been made to handle anything that was thrown at it because of the online firmware updates that users’ are able to install on the device to block attacks.

Yet this seems to have failed as pirated games are still being used out there and, even if it is wrong in most people eyes, it doesn’t seem that this practice is ever going to stop.

The practice goes way back to when people used to record music off the radio onto cassette tapes, and while nobody says that it is right, it still happens.
