A hacker collective named SwaggSec claims to have hacked Foxconn, the world's largest electronic components maker. Foxconn assembles hardware for Apple as well as game consoles, such as the PS3, the Xbox 360, and the Wii. According to SwaggSec's open letter, the hack appears to be retaliation for Foxconn's notorious working conditions. The hack looks to be a brute force hack by logging in as admin with "password1" as the password.
SwaggSec's document dump apparently contains internal Foxconn info, such as an email server dump, internal logins, as well as info about financial transactions. Website 9to5 Mac verified the logins worked on more than one Foxconn server. The Foxconn server is now closed.
The email dump seems to include every single username and password, including the one used by CEO Terry Gou.

Seems like there's always someone getting hacked these days.

If you Password contains "Password" you deserve to be hacked.

What are the chances they had Wii U data?

Fairly good if Nintendo is using them to supply key components.

I would assume so too, but it depends on if Nintendo already had the final build ready to go into mass production. If they want to release it this year they better start making them, so that there's enough to go around for whomever wants one.

If Nintendo is going to have units by the end of the year in any cost effective manner, then they will need to go through the process of getting all the equipment and processes in place for mass production.  At the very least some components are probably locked and everyone is in the process of planning on how to deliver on there contracted obligations.
