(FOR CONTEXT: I DID NOT MAKE THIS SLIDESHOW)

more context: i was searching for google slides in my browser when a slideshow showed up in the autocomplete bar, which i don't remember ever seeing. two screenshots are attached. it seems to be a 3ds ransomware?? i have searched online for "unlockmii" but with no results. i have no clue what this could be. it almost doesn't seem to exist online. hopefully someone on here knows anything about this?

It looks like. and sounds like, a complete scam.

i guessed so, but i just don't know where this came from, or who made it. it doesn't exist anywhere online. the top result is this post. nothing happened to my 3ds, of course, but it's just confusing. idk

If you want to mod your 3DS, always check out here: https://3ds.guide

Anybody who offers you modding services, don't pay them any money, as you can do the job for free.

Which is the Google account that created the slideshow?

Doesn't seem like a hacking service, rather a ransomware for the 3DS.

unfortunately, it doesn't say who created the slides. however, it was created on april 20, 2023

Considering it doesn't have any sort of wallet or link, this most likely was shared via e-mail, hence there's little to no info online about it.

Never heard of it unfortunately, and it sounds like an interesting piece of scam bs. Maybe asking in other websites as Reddit or Pokémon forums can lead to more info on the matter.

3DS ransomware? Never thought of that.
Could give bad people mean ideas.

It would be trivial to build something only ntrboot and a good NAND backup could solve. Sadly very likely to be effective.

On the pro side our society focused on new things only probably makes this less probable nowadays.

Speculating, but, it could've been distributed through that (now patched) bug in Mario Kart or something similar... or maybe just a cia with a 'bait' title on a certain 'shop' app.
Be vigilant in what you install folks.

There are other attack vectors. Especially Streepass.
