Bushing has reported on his blog that a representative from Nintendo has contacted him in regards to the recently found security hole that would allow backups to be run on a non-modified Wii console. You can expect Nintendo to patch the hole very soon so don't expect anything useful to ever come of it.

nice of bushing for such an attitude, altough i was shit curious about the hole, i'm glad he did it, i hope nintendo sees we're not the bad guys, and allow us to develop homemade stuff

Wonder if Waninkoko is going to release this rumored IOS patch..

People who want this softmod stuff just won't update there wiis when the fix is out then Waninkoko or someone will find it and release it. :/ Bushing is trying but it won't matter it will still be released at some point.

It was only a matter of time before it was discovered, the console has been wide open for months with the twilight hack... Everything is possible with it, if you have the ambition to figure it out. Ambition takes time though, and new games don't wait or work on old firmwares...

I don't get how it works without being modified unless Bushing is only referring to hardware-specific mods. Nintendo wouldn't pull a sega, least I wouldn't think.

But we can now install different ISOs leading to maybe not having to update if we install modded ISOs of the ISO needed to play a newer game.

Isn't there there that brick blocker that removes the updates or something?

[fluidmax]

just a heads up...don't be surprised when Nintendo comes out with the updates to patch this hole it will also patch the homebrew stuff all together. sometime those security holes are some what tie together and for them it will be easier to kill two birds with 1 stone...i doubt Nintendo will leave the home brew alone. i hope Bushing didn't shoot himself in the foot by doing this...he could just keep this hole to himself and wait in case other methods to run homebrew are blocked off in the future. Nintendo will never play nice and cooperate with hackers (you can tell by the disrespect tone in their email)

I wonder if that was even legit....come on seriously... in the comment he used "a" in front of issue...come on..thats elementary or grade school grammar...everybody knows that you use "an" before a word with a vowel........this is suppose to be a representative of nintendo? it also comes from a gmail account....maybe im just blabing, but any joe can make a gmail account with the words nintendo and some number behind it ...so if I would of sent the same reply with a gmail account with nintendo and some number and in my reply post a link to "www. nintendo .com" and say im a nintendo representative then its legit? iono....maybe it's somebody that wants some information about the hax....or the exploit..
