Spanish police say they’ve arrested a hacker who threatened to go public with personal information he found in a Nintendo database. The database contained personal information on about 4,000 users, the Interior Ministry said. Nintendo’s Spanish division, Nintendo Ib..rica, was approached by the hacker, who was seeking to blackmail the company. The hacker had apparently found the company’s database on the Internet, and he allegedly tried to cut a deal with Nintendo, threatening to publish the information in an online forum and lodge a complaint with Spain’s Data Protection Agency.
