I suspect Nintendo may have had a major security breach. My account was accessed numerous times overnight. My password is a unique string and my PC is definitely clean (not that I ever login via it). Lots of similar reports on Reddit/twitter. Unlink PayPal & enable 2FA folks!

Okay so shit is serious: No matter what you do about this Nintendo breach, ENABLE 2FA IF YOU DIDN'T DO IT ALREADY. CHANGING PASSWORDS IS NOT ENOUGH. — LuigiBlood (@LuigiBlood) April 19, 2020

After all, we would advise you kindly change your password right now and enable the 2-step verification method which Nintendo advised us to use. This method will secure your Nintendo Switch.
