Well expected after the previous states of the hack.

I don't really understand this. The 3DS was supposedly hacked just a couple of days ago (still don't believe that one though), why Nintendo make the Wii U, their new home console, easier to hack than the 3DS? Until I see more proof than just an image of Reggie on the Gamepad I won't believe this.

I think it's more intersting to hacker community work with Wii U than 3DS... and the Wii U have the Wii mode all opened... so it's easy to work with hacks.
That's just makes me think... WTF Sony did with PS3 security?

Even if it is more "interesting" it doesn't make sense that they were able to hack it in just a month. Even on the Wii it took 1 year to hack the system.

Like I said the Wii Mode (I put the U before... sorry) opened all the security for hackers... so easy.

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.
I'm sure this affects it has much as the 360 and Ps3. Firmware update and problem solved for the most part. People pirating will probably be limited to offline.
