Nintendo banning online hackers in The Conduit

Hackers have been a pretty big concern for regular online players in The Conduit. One of the first exploits allowed a user to obtain infinite health/ammo, and that occurred only a few days after the game launch. Unfortunately, things haven’t gotten much better since then. However, it appears as though Nintendo is finally taking action to eliminate hackers.

An online hacker has taken a clear picture of an error message found when trying to connect to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. A quick look up of the code shows that Nintendo is banning hackers for “unauthorized activity.” It’s great to see Nintendo moving in the right direction to protect their service, but hopefully these issues will become less problematic in the future.

    This came up with MK Wii as well as Brawl. I thought the hackers were bragging about defeating this error code.

    Always nice to see Nintendo score a victory against hackers. We don’t need them screwing up online play.
