There was a promo hosted by Nintendo, this kind of bus tour showing off the new 3DS. There was a site called "pruebayveras.com" (try-and-see, or something like that). A RANDOM PERSON, no hacker, found out that by adding "admin" at the beginning of the URL (admin.pruebayveras.com) you could access all the data Nintendo collected for this promo. The guy was stupid enough to tell Nintendo the error when blackmailing, so Nintendo fixed it and sued the guy."

Trying to blackmail a major gaming company, that isn't a very good idea and surely he knew it wouldn't turn out good, wonder what will happen to him.
