Nintendo says it has increased its information security to combat leaks

The last couple of Nintendo Directs featured major announcements about future games coming to the Switch, but these showcases were also preceded by leaks that revealed projects from multiple developers, including Nintendo themselves. Conversations around these leakers have heated up in recent weeks, and now Nintendo has acknowledged them, saying that they’ve taken steps to increase information security at the company.

Nintendo answered a question about recent leaks during a shareholder meeting this week, as translated by X user @NStyles.

Last week, a report from Bloomberg revealed that prominent Nintendo leaker Pyoro’s source of information was an employee of Nintendo Japan. It prompted the leaker to set his X account to private.

As Nintendo gears up for the reveal of its Switch successor later this fiscal year, it makes sense that the company is cracking down on information leaks. For all your Nintendo news, stay right here on Shacknews.
