The history of the scene in Nintendo Switch It started a long time ago since a system vulnerability was announced, however, until now Nintendo had stayed pretty much on the sidelines. But it seems that the patience in the offices of the big N has run out, and now the manufacturer has filed two lawsuits in the courts of the United States with which it intends to stop the sale and distribution of loaders for its console.
The Nintendo Switch Hack
Most of the methods use a system vulnerability that allows software, hardware, or a combination of both to inject software into the system that allows third-party code to run without any problem. This is obviously used to load illegal copies of Nintendo titles, as well as install other add-on apps for all sorts of purposes.
But at Nintendo they have gotten tired, so they have filed two complaints with which they will try to stop the negotiations and sales of nine online stores that are in charge of selling and distributing hacks and mods for switch. Among those stores is uberchips.com which, according to Nintendo, is in charge of selling tools to the public to hack the console and be able to run copies of games.
According to the manufacturer, the sale of these products is illegal, since they violate the anti-circumvention laws of the DMCA, something that would affect celebrities SX Pro of the Team-Xecuter, a dongle that allows you to speed up the hacking process in simple steps and that accumulates great sales in all types of distributors.
New models to hack the Nintendo Switch
The interesting thing about the matter is that Nintendo has filed the lawsuit after the stores were selling this type of product for almost two years. It sounds quite late to put a stop to it, however, the reason is basically another, although with the same foundation.
The key is in the new product that the Team Xeuter is already distributing all over the world, some new chips (SX Core y SX Lite) that will allow you to run homemade code on the latest versions of Nintendo Switch and on the new Nintendo Switch Lite. As I'm sure you know, the latest Nintendo Switch patch fixed the security issue that affected the CPU, rendering current hacking methods completely useless.
To this we must add that the new Switch Lite is also perfectly maintained without modifications or undue access, so the manufacturer maintains an ecosystem free of attacks up to now. However, with these two new products already on sale, the company's security could be affected, and that is why they have been quick to cancel the sales of these chips in the main distributors with the idea of being able to continue protecting their products. .
Nintendo claims that the sale of these devices will cause "tremendous damage," so they seek a court order to seize and destroy all components. As if that were not enough, the giant has requested the transfer of the Uberchips.com domain to its properties, with the idea of preventing the distribution and communication tasks from continuing.
The second lawsuit requests the annulment of the activities of eight more stores, such as Anxchip.com, Axiogame.com, Flashcarda.com, Mod3dscards.com, Nx-card.com, Sxflashcard.com, Txswitch.com y usachipss.com, alleging that they all sell illegal devices.
