Nintendo revealed a major breach in April, saying that "about 160,000 accounts" of Nintendo Switch users were affected. As it turns out, the actual number was closer to 300,000, Nintendo said this week.

The issue applies specifically to anyone who connected their old Nintendo 3DS and Wii U "Nintendo Network ID," or NNID, to the Switch. Nintendo now uses a system called Nintendo Account, but the company allowed people with existing NNIDs to connect those to their new Nintendo Account.

Nintendo said it no longer allows NNID logins on the Switch.
