There's something concerning going on, as Nintendo Switch owners are reporting that they're seeing suspicious attempted log-ins for their account. Many users are sharing that they've either received emails from Nintendo with notices of log-ins from new devices, or even some that say their saved payment information was used to purchase V-bucks in Fortnite without their authorization. While Nintendo hasn't confirmed or denied as to whether or not there was a data breach or if there's a problem unfolding, it would be wise to make sure your account is secured. You can do so by resetting your password, checking out if there's been an unauthorized log-in attempt by looking at your history (https://t.co/Qg3ZVfXnCz), removing your linked PayPal or Credit Card accounts, or turning 2-Step Verification on (https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1248355001321361408?s=20) for your Switch account, which Nintendo themselves recommended just last week.
