Lotta people saying their accounts were accessed (multiple times!) even after setting up a far more secure password and only enabling 2FA has stopped it.

More likely some other website was hacked and they're using password dumps to try to break into Nintendo accounts.

People have specifically said their accounts are still being accessed even after changing the password.

"password2" is not a more-secure password.

People are now saying this hack came from Fortnite somehow

Edit: I just checked my account and no unauthorized logins at all. I've never played Fortnite.

If you don't use 2fa, you deserve whatever you get.

That wasn't the ApocalyPS3. The ApocalyPS3 pertained to the internal clock bug that had to be patched up.

If you're gonna talk about something, at least have the goddamn courtesy to know what the fuck you're on about.

There's been little noise about this anywhere so it's probably just a small group of people affected

No the hacking was the ApocalyPS3. The internal clock problem was the CollaPS3

I remember telling people that you really can't stop a competent hacker, and it's even more true today.

Its 3DS passwords that were hacked. You can use your 3DS login/pass to log into your Switch, which is why people are still getting hacked after changing their Switch passwords.
