A new report on old privacy incidents suggests that at least one Nintendo leak came from aGoogleemployee showing off privateYouTubevideos to a friend.
The community has long suspected that many notable leakers get their information from sources like unpublished YouTube videos, and this report would appear to confirm that - at least in this instance. Judging by the admin URL in the leak screenshot, I’d wager this particular leaker had no intentions of this image being widely spread. But then, you’d also hope that your friends are cautious enough to keep you shielded from Nintendo’s ire, too.
These reports, again, come from Google’s internal review process, and the company says in a statement that “every one was reviewed and resolved at that time. In some cases, these employee flags turned out not to be issues at all or were issues that employees found in third party services.”
