Nintendo‘s Switch gaming machine has been available for a year now. Today, hackers announced that they had cracked the firmware version of the host computer, and said that it will be announced this summer.

The hacker claimed that she exploited a bootrom vulnerability in the Nvidia Tegra chip, which is currently in production and sold in the Switch and cannot be patched in the form of a software patch. According to what she announced, this cracking method does not require physical modifications to the hardware, and it also eliminates the need to install chips. It seems that netizens are likely to crack the host at home.

 

In addition, the hacker also announced even more alarming news that the loopholes in the Nvidia Tegra chip not only existed on the Switch but also existed in many other devices. The vulnerability has a wide range of impacts, so the hackers will The details of this vulnerability are announced after the vendor’s response cycle ends.

Although there have been some hackers claiming that they had found a way to crack Switch, they did not disclose the details, and most of the cracks are related to the firmware version. This time, the hardware loopholes will be ignored in all directions. Also, let the outside world have expectations for this crack.

Many domestic players have become increasingly aware of their copyright awareness and have gradually become accustomed to the purchase of genuine games. However, after this crack, they will still affect some players. However, after the online game, the BAN will depend on Nintendo’s response.
