A large number of players recently complained on social platforms such as Reddit and Twitter that their Nintendo accounts associated with the Switch were abnormal and suspected of being stolen.
In response, a Nintendo spokesperson sent Eurogamer an official statement stating:
"We have noticed the issue of unauthorized login of Nintendo accounts and are actively investigating the situation.
At the same time, we recommend that users open the account for two-step verification. "
Just two weeks ago, Nintendo Japan announced that it had found some cases where third parties logged in to access the user's credit card data, and issued a warning.
Yesterday, Nintendo temporarily closed the payment channel in the eShop market. It can be speculated that the official is indeed actively investigating these cases.
As the new coronavirus epidemic swept the world and led to home isolation, hacker activities and attacks from all walks of life were frequent. Players should be careful and pay attention to account security.
