Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo Network accounts hacked

just what they needed two weeks after announcing it was to become a paid service in the near future

The fact that it's just 450 accounts and that the passwords are known hints at this not being a breach of Nintendo's systems. It's much more likely that someone just tried to log in using passwords obtained elsewhere (most likely from actual breaches) and got in in 450 or so cases. If Nintendo's systems were actually breached, there would probably be much more victim accounts than just 450.

450 isnt really a big number when there are over 70m 3ds and wii u owners.

Welp now I'm scared.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

450? Am I reading that right? Thankfully I'm not on the list.

And people worried that it's not gonna be on par with other paid online services.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Not on the list and even if I was, I don't give Nintendo my card number. Don't trust 'em with it.

I'm not on the list but its best to reset your password just to be safe...considering there's always a chance that they could have access to more accounts and you wouldnt know it.

Wait, so how do you even reset your password?

Through the WiiU or 3DS? You cant reset it via a website? What year is this!?

You can go on there my Nintendo site, or through the actual systems. Took me a total of less than a minute to do it.
