Wii Internet Channel lets hackers in

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

> From the ComputerAndVideoGames.com:

"Hackers have reportedly found a new loophole in the Wii's Internet Channel that could allow the running of unsigned, 
home-made code on the console."

The report states that
"apparently the exploit lies at the heart of the Flash Player (the software used for watching Flash-encoded video - like on 
YouTube) embedded within the Wii's web browser"
