Your Nintendo Account May Have Been Exposed, So Here's How to Enable 2FA gizmodo.com

Photo : GizmodoFollowing a growing number of reports of Nintendo users claiming their accounts had been hacked, Nintendo has confirmed that roughly 160,000 may have been accessed and exposed personally identifiable information about those users.

Previously, users had reported that their accounts had been used to purchase items from Nintendo shops, including in-game currency for Fortnite.
According to Nintendo, information that may have been exposed in the leak includes username, gender, date of birth, location, and email address.
(Despite being used to make purchases, Nintendo said no credit card information stored on file would have been able to be viewed.)
