Wii U has been hacked

What do you mean by bulletproof? 99% of all Xbox 360's here in Uruguay are hacked - maybe what you mean is that all of them were through the same exploit/attack?.

I can see that they must have raised security A LOT, but it seems it hasn't stopped the pirates.

as in they flashed the disc reader's firmware to have it say 'yes, this is a legit disc', which does not invalidate the fact that the code on the disc is signed.

bulletproof as in even partial access to the hardware to execute random, sideloaded, unsigned code on the CPU is extremely involved, if at all possible.

Thanks for the clarification :) .

From a practical purpose, it doesn't sound bulletproof, but for the homebrew community it sure does.
