NINTENDO ACCOUNTS & SWITCH CONSOLES ARE GETTING HACKED. 9 STEPS TO SECURE YOUR CONSOLE

Due to the social distancing facing the coronavirus, the use of video game consoles, such as Nintendo Switch, has increased considerably. Unfortunately, this has not gone unnoticed by hackers, as mentioned by logical security experts. Recently, threat actors have been attacking PayPal accounts linked to Nintento eShop with the aim of buying video game coins (such as Fortnite’s V-bucks), although they could also steal real money.
Through social media, multiple gamers have denounced the hacking of their accounts, attracting the attention of video game enthusiasts and the cybersecurity community.
One of the most recent victims is Twitter user Pixelpar, who is also the editor of a video game blog: “I suspect Nintendo has suffered a considerable attack,” he posted. The editor decided to start his own investigation, formulating a questionnaire that would be answered by those who had experienced a similar incident.
