Nintendo Allegedly Breached, Hackers Claim To Have Access To Sensitive Information

Expert Verified By

Nintendo Has Yet To Confirm The Situation!

Story Highlight
  • A hacker group seems to have breached Nintendo, revealing screenshots as proof.
  • The group has confirmed it in a post and states they have access to sensitive information.
  • Nintendo has yet to confirm the situation, but for now, take it with a grain of salt.

As Nintendo Switch 2 celebrates becoming the fastest-selling console in the US, the company has been hit with the worst news possible. A hacker group has reportedly breached the company, gaining access to important data. 

A new post claims that a hacker group has breached Nintendo. It has released screenshots as proof with production assets, developer previews, and backups. This shows that the claim can be real. 

Why it matters: The situation could get really bad for Nintendo if the situation escalates. Hackers can do serious damage, as we saw previously from Epic Games, Insomniac, and GSC Game World hacks. 

Nintendo has reportedly been hacked by a notorious group

Crimson Collective, a notorious group previously responsible for an attack on Red Hat, a software company, claims to have breached Nintendo. It previously stole 570 GB of Red Hat’s data and could cause issues for Nintendo as well. 

However, despite the claim, Nintendo has yet to confirm the authenticity of it. But historically speaking, the company doesn’t have a very good record against hackers. The last time it faced a similar situation, thousands of users were affected.

The company has yet to comment on the situation

So, for now, let’s just wait for an official word from Nintendo. But if the threat is indeed real, we hope the company sees it through, as these things can really mess up the company.
