It looks like yet another security flaw has been found in Nintendo's Wii.  A Wii hacker by the name of bushing is reporting that he and his team has come across a major security flaw in the Wii that would allow for the playing of pirated games on an unmodified Wii Console.  Luckily for Nintendo, he intends to tell them of this issue so it can be properly patched before it gets public.  No response has been received yet, but I really hope for Nintendo's sake that they respond and don't take this issue lightly.  They're software attachment rate really can't afford to be any lower than it already is…

Dear Nintendo, 

As part of our efforts to understand how the Wii works, we believe we
have found a security issue that could allow pirated Wii games to be
played on an unmodified Wii console.

I would like to speak to an engineer about this — please have one contact me at bushing (at) gmail.com.

Sincerely,
bushing

P.S. Sorry for posting this publicly — I tried emailing you three times
and never received a response. I am trying to follow the model set forth
in http://www.wiretrip.net/rfp/policy.html, so your timely response
would be appreciated.
