Especially the alleged cybersecurity experts who clearly have no clue about how unhackable Switch 2 is, nor how many devices dating to at least the 90s have never been hacked (no, I am not talking about gaming hardware). The "nothing is unhackable" idiots are as hilarious as the "if buying isn't owning piracy isn't stealing" thieves.

And I say that as a proud thief and retired certified Cisco and CISSP network engineer whose career started in the 80s.

Can you be less obvious? I mean... come on

exactly. The "many hardware from the 90s" he's talking about are most likely hardware that nobody has interest in. If no one has any interest in hacking a device, then it will remain "unhacked".

every day i go on gbatemp, every day i see this thread being posted in.
this is one of those eternally popular threads, i suspect.
because the thread title is just so inflammatory it makes it so hard to resist.

If you were a Cisco engineer with that mindset then that would certainly explain the never ending barrage of Cisco related vulnerabilities... Joking aside, a machine not being hacked does not mean that it's "unhackable".
It could just mean that no one with the skill tried to hack the machine.

Also, didn't they use to say that the PS3 was unhackable? It's not the first time that word has been thrown around lightly and proven wrong.

I don't see why you think that the Switch 2 is unackable after only about a year after its launch?
Do you know something about the Switch 2 that the rest of us don't?

Thanks captain smartypants. You need to include effort and timeframe. If cracking the switch2 ends up meaning having to break some modern crypto that requires state supercomputers running for millions of years, that hardly qualifies.

who cares, i dont need a timetable to enjoy the process.
let the hackers do their job, slowly crunching what nintendo made into dust.
good things are worth waiting for.
