Switch console flaw leaves Nintendo looking flat-footed
Barely two weeks after going on sale, someone has hacked the Nintendo Switch console using an old Apple iOS flaw in a browser that’s not officially supposed to be on the machine.
Welcome to the odd universe of console hacking, by which we mean either jailbreaking or, failing that, making the machine do something interesting nobody knew was possible. For each new console these days, the story always starts as a race to be the first to find a way in.
The latest honour has been claimed by a young Italian iPhone jailbreaker called Luca Todesco (@qwertyopriup) who posted an image on Twitter with the word “done” on the Switch’s screen below a laptop displaying the code used to make that happen.
