Man jailed in Japan for hacking Nintendo Switch

In Japan, a man who hacked a Nintendo Switch for fun has been given a real prison sentence.

It is reported that 58-year-old Fumihiro Otobe received a 2-year suspended sentence for selling modified devices, which is a violation of the country's laws. As an additional punishment, the Japanese man was fined 1 million yen.

As the accused himself noted, he was simply looking for new sensations, and buyers of hacked consoles considered him an amazing person.
