Club Nintendo Japan hacked
As translated by Kotaku, Nintendo said customer information compromised in the attack includes full names, phone numbers, and home and email addresses. Happily, the service doesn't hold credit card information. Kotaku notes the attack is apparently limited to Japan's Club Nintendo, and other countries don't seem to be affected.
Unsurprisingly, Nintendo is strengthening Club Nintendo's security as a result, starting off with making users' old passwords invalid and requiring them to make new ones.

MW2-Rush Sucks to be Nintendo users! :(
Only for Club Nintendo, in Japan. Not Nintendo users in general, and not for Nintendo users in Japan necessarily. Just Club Nintendo, in Japan. Minor issue. Minor...

What rattled your cage? The majority of Nintendo users have never done anything wrong to deserve this.
