Up on Bushing's blog, we learn that the Team Twiizer's member has discovered a security issue that, when properly exploited, could allow pirated games to be run on unmodified Nintendo Wiis.

Of course, this exploit may have been used as a stepping stone to creating an ISO loader for Nintendo's next generation console, but as Bushing would have none of that, he plans on discussing the issue with Nintendo.

But as of press time, Bushing has not been able to establish contact with any of Nintendo's engineering and software department. Apparently, three messages via electronic mail have been sent, and none were responded to by the company.

The post on Bushing's blog has exposed much of the security flaw, though the author himself states that he had taken measures to contact the company as demanded by the Full Disclosure Policy. More updates as we get them.
