W. William Hodges

W. William Hodges (November 1919 - December 2013?) was a British data preservationist who maintained data from Nintendo from 1992 to 2001. He was best known for his threat to leak details about Personalisation and the July 29th 1995 build, which resulted in Nintendo hiring MM Group to silence him. This was unsuccessful and resulted in the sale of the data to MCMax05 of Reddit in 2005, who leaked it in 2020.

Hodges served in the Second World War
