A 21-year-old Nintendo hacker has plead guilty to multiple charges, after an FBI investigation uncovered a library of child sexual abuse images on his computer.
Ryan Hernandez, from Palmdale, California, used a phishing scam to glean Nintendo employee credentials and access Nintendo Switch developer documentation stored on the company’s servers.
This was back in 2016, when Hernandez was still classed as a minor. A 2017 FBI investigation resulted in Hernandez and his parents being contacted, and a warning being given.
