Someone more infosec savvy than me will probably know: how is this happening despite things like 2FA? Isn't 2FA basically unbreakable as long as you control who has the necessary info?

Other people have responded to this much better than I can. Also some of the affected channels posted videos on what happened. 2FA is only security for logging in initially. What these turds are doing are using malware to highjack a session token. Session tokens allow your device to stay logged in for a period of time. Especially when you do more than stay on one page. Such as logging into youtube and clicking on a couple of videos. Every time you click on a video you are going to a different web page. Without session tokens you would have to log in every time you click on a different page within one website. They basically steal that and now the website thinks that the attacker is legitimately logged in and they really are.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
