Nintendo suspends compromised Nintendo Network IDs
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
A few hundred Nintendo Network IDs were recently thought to have been affected by some sort of hack. Squish Turtle obtained a statement from Nintendo, which states that “login information was taken from a third-party website”. This data was compromised, and unfortunately some users had the same login information for their Nintendo Network ID.
Affected accounts have now been suspended to avoid any further issues. Users will need to contact Nintendo to have their information updated and account restored.
An official message from Nintendo of Australia reads:
