Recently, LootPots founder Pixelpar released Twitter , claiming that his Switch-linked account is suspected of being hacked, as follows:
Pixelpar said on Twitter that the password of his Nintendo account is extremely strong, and generally not He was stolen, but his account was accessed several times overnight and received 47 Nintendo account login notification emails, and his account has not even been logged in on his computer using a web page.
After Pixelpar released this tweet, it caused a lot of heated discussions among players. And players from different parts of the world have reported similar problems through Reddit and Twitter.
Shortly after Pixelpar posted on Twitter, Nintendo officially announced that the credit card payment function of the eShop store was temporarily offline. Although the two are not directly connected, Pixelpar still recommends that players with account abnormalities untie PayPal and enable two-step verification .
According to the feedback from all players with abnormal accounts, Pixelpar believes that the NNID password bound to the Nintendo account, which is the password of the Nintendo Network ID, may have been stolen this time. Few players are bound to personal Nintendo accounts to inherit part of the information.
At present, Nintendo has not given a positive response to this incident, so it is recommended that you turn on the two-step verification or change your password to prevent getting caught.
