I know I'm just giving this script kiddie attention, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
Also apologies if this is badly written, I'm not good at using forums.
Basically, there's a guy who I won't name going around writing Wii brickers disguised as harmless WADs (such as a Golden Axe VC WAD) or homebrew applications.
Their biggest project, which I won't name either, is a fork of KoreanKii that just installs the korean key onto your Wii's SEEPROM. This by itself wouldn't be difficult to recover from, but here's the catch; it also deletes EVERYTHING off your SD card and USB drive.
They're planning on sharing malicious WADs and applications right here on GBATemp, which is why I finally made a post about this.
They're also claiming to have written WiiGPT, and that RiiConnect24 and WiiLink have been "stealing their hard work", which just isn't true and is them trying to make up some sort of rationale for doing these awful things.
TL;DR don't install random WADs or run random homebrew apps, test on dolphin first!
