According to
PCWorld, the man burgled the private information of about 4,000 users from a Nintendo database. He then contacted Nintendo's Spain division and threatened to post the information online or file a complaint with the Data Protection Agency if his needs weren't met. That's blackmail, boys and girls.
Nintendo ignored the hacker's demands and got a hold of the authorities in early February. They have now tracked him down and taken him into custody, but not before he posted a portion of the stolen info online, however.
