Un grupo de ransomware amenaza a Nintendo con filtrar datos de empleados

Un grupo que se hace llamar ShadowByt3$ ha exigido un rescate de 2 millones de dólares a Nintendo, amenazando con publicar datos de empleados obtenidos a través de un servicio de terceros.

El grupo de extorsión publicó su amenaza inicial el 12 de junio, alegando estar en posesión de 859 megabytes de datos de TinyPulse, una plataforma de comentarios de empleados utilizada por Nintendo of America. Se dice que los datos incluyen nombres, direcciones de correo electrónico, extractos bancarios y mensajes internos. El grupo dio a Nintendo 48 horas para pagar y posteriormente amplió el plazo en un día. Tras la negativa de Nintendo, ShadowByt3$ trasladó su demanda a TinyPulse el 14 de junio, estableciendo una nueva fecha límite para el 16 de junio. Nintendo of America declaró que es consciente del problema relacionado con TinyPulse. La compañía confirmó que sus propios sistemas siguen sin verse afectados y que no se accedió a ningún dato de clientes o información financiera. Las capturas de pantalla compartidas en línea muestran supuestamente preocupaciones de los empleados de diciembre de 2025 sobre la introducción de la herramienta de IA Copilot de Microsoft en Nintendo of America.
