For what I understand the Wii mode and the normal Wii U don't have "any connection" between the two. Technically the Wii U shuts itself down and it reboots the system into a normal Wii. If there's a way to connect "both systems" I don't imagine the security of the Wii U being the same (or even weaker considering the time) than the Wii. If that's the case then that was a incredible big mistakes from Nintendo. Companies take very seriously the hacking thing, so I just can't simple imagine this being so easy...

It's impossible to make a SO not have connection with other OS... it's the same hardware... they share everything... it's like your PC booting with Windows or Linux... but the hardware is the same for all so you can decript the Windows password from Linux for example.

First they hacked the Wii Mode... now the Wii U mode... I think they used the Wii Mode to access the Wii U and get the information to hack the system.

Just speculation of course.

Do you know the concept of virtualization? (Sorry if that's not the right term in English, I just made an exact translation from Spanish) It basically simulates a hardware to emulate another OS and execute it in isolation.

You can execute different OS at the same time with a software call Virtual Box and both instances don't have any connection (at least not to my knowledge). I imagine the Wii U is using the same principle with the Wii mode. This is also speculation though.
