Wii U hackers claim a breakthrough, Nintendo ready and prepared

A group of hackers have claimed that they have developed a modification chip that can avoid certain Nintendo security measures on the Wii U. In the group’s website they stated that they “completely reversed the Wii U drive authentication, disk encryption, file system, and everything else” required for the most recent chip used on the Wii U. It's hard to tell if what they say is true, since their is not evidence that what they say is true, but this is the same group that developed a similar modification chip for the Nintendo Wii. It’s also unknown of the extend of capabilities of the chip. 

In response Nintendo has told CVG that they’re aware of the hackers claims and is “ready to combat any possible threat of piracy”. It was also stated that they “have no reports of illegal Wii U games nor unauthorized applications playable on the system while in Wii U mode” and “Nintendo continuously monitors all threats to its products’ security and will use technology and will take the necessary legal steps to prevent the facilitation of piracy”.
