Security News > 2020 > April > News Wrap: Nintendo Account Hacks, Apple Zero Days, NFL Security

It started a couple days ago when a number of researchers and I'm probably gonna mispronounce the name of the security firm, ZecOps or something along those lines -I can never pronounce these names - But anyways, they found two zero days, or what they claimed are two zero days that are very, very troubling when described.

Tom: Yeah, well, you know, Apple has gotten some support from the research community.

Tom: Yeah Lindsey, which Nintendo's accounts? Do we know? I mean, I'm just thinking about my my son's different accounts with Nintendo.

Finally, in a statement today, it said that it first of all confirmed the attacks, it said that specifically 160,000 accounts were hacked, and it said the reason that this hack was occurring was because attackers were abusing the Nintendo Network ID legacy login system, which I don't know if you guys remember but that was from the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U console.

Tara: Yeah, it's kind of interesting because there are 100+ video feeds when you take into account you know, all the general managers, all the prospects which there are 58 different prospects and the coaches themselves and then plus that's not even including, you know, the individual underlings that are involved in the process.
