And more reports
I suspect Nintendo may have had a major security breach. My account was accessed numerous times overnight.
My password is a unique string and my PC is definitely clean (not that I ever login via it).
Lots of similar reports on Reddit/twitter.
Unlink PayPal & enable 2FA folks!

Some further advice in regards to the current potential Switch Online security issues.
-Enable 2FA on your account
-Change Nintendo Network ID (3DS/Wii U) password or unlink from Nintendo Account
-Change passwords of accounts tied to Switch (FB/Google/Twitter)— Source Gaming (@AllSourceGaming) April 20, 2020
Okay so shit is serious: No matter what you do about this Nintendo breach, ENABLE 2FA IF YOU DIDN'T DO IT ALREADY. CHANGING PASSWORDS IS NOT ENOUGH.
