saddsaadsasdadsds.png

A fledgling hacker appears to have taken advantage of a lack of security on Nintendo's official developer portal, leading to the leak of over 50 gigabytes of internal files relating to the Nintendo NX, development tools, SDKs, and more. The hacker happens to be a 16-year-old, stating that they have little to no actual hacking experience. but still managed to have gotten credentials to a Nintendo developer account, and used it to grab whatever they could off the CDN, and then extract the proprietary compressed files. According to them, the leak contains:

- Documents related to the inner workings of the NX system (NX is the codename for Nintendo Switch)
- Development tools related to game development of Nintendo (NintendoSDK and Unity for NX)
- Source code related to tools by Nintendo that are used in many Nintendo Switch games!
- Backend code for Nintendo networking (NPLN, NEX, Pia)
- And a whole lot more (graphics, files, etc.)

Claims are easy.... Any credibility to the material being real?
It was fairly easy to find the original post on Google, I haven't downloaded it, but at least one guy on that forum did say any switch dev (3rd party or otherwise) has access to the materials he downloaded
