Suspicious login attempts begin to plague Switch owners, Nintendo to investigate
There's something concerning going on, as Nintendo Switch owners are reporting that they're seeing suspicious attempted log-ins for their account. Many users are sharing that they've either received emails from Nintendo with notices of log-ins from new devices, or even some that say their saved payment information was used to purchase V-bucks in Fortnite without their authorization. While Nintendo hasn't confirmed or denied as to whether or not there was a data breach or if there's a problem unfolding, it would be wise to make sure your account is secured. You can do so by resetting your password, checking out if there's been an unauthorized log-in attempt by looking at your history, removing your linked PayPal or Credit Card accounts, or turning 2-Step Verification on for your Switch account, which Nintendo themselves recommended just last week.
Nintendo is now aware of the problem and is "investigating the situation". They again recommend that users turn on 2FA.
EDIT: One of our users is conducting a poll to see who has been affected. You can fill it out here.
