Nintendo reports hacker intrusion
TOKYO, June 5 (UPI) -- Nintendo said Sunday that hackers had gotten into the Web site of its U.S. subsidiary several weeks ago and leaked some information to the Internet.
No user information was compromised in the incident, which occurred in the wake a major break-in involving Sony's online gaming system, the company said.
The Kyodo news service said Nintendo did not immediately report the breach because there was no personal information involved.
The attack apparently was the work of a group called Lulzsec, which claimed credit for the intrusion into the Sony system. The Wall Street Journal said Lulzsec posted a server configuration filed on the Internet and then sent out a Twitter tweet reading, "We sincerely hope Nintendo plugs the gap."
'Family Feud' relocating to Atlanta
ATLANTA, June 5 (UPI) -- The venerable U.S. game show "Family Feud" is relocating to Atlanta, the home base of host Steve Harvey, the producer said.
"Family Feud" was taped in Orlando, Fla., last season but improved ratings in Harvey's first stint as host apparently gave him the juice needed to shift the program to Georgia, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution said.
Harvey said in a written statement "Family Feud" would be shot at his newly launched Green Screen Studios.
"It only feels natural to provide a production need in a growing entertainment market like Atlanta," Harvey said.
Leslie Nielsen leaves 'em laughing
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 5 (UPI) -- The new tombstone on actor Leslie Nielsen's grave in Florida includes the traditional abbreviation for Rest in Peace along with a salute to his favorite jokes.
The South Florida Sun Sentinel said Sunday the epitaph at the comic star's final resting place in Fort Lauderdale reads, "Let 'er RIP," which brings to mind his love of low flatulence humor.
Nielsen, the star of the comedy classics "Naked Gun" and "Airplane," lived in retirement in Fort Lauderdale until his death last year at the age of 84.
The Sun Sentinel said a new bench under shade tree near the grave at Evergreen Cemetery includes his advice to "Sit down whenever you can."
