Gary Bowser, previously associated with the hacking group Team-Xecuter, paid $10 million in damages to Nintendo and served jail time for involvement in piracy-related activities. Now, his name resurfaces in connection with the “MIG-Switch,” a flash cart enabling the playing of backup games on unmodified Nintendo Switch hardware.
Allegations and Response:
As people investigated the MIG-Switch, Gary Bowser’s name was found in DNS records associated with the project. However, Bowser denies any involvement, claiming that his name’s inclusion was a result of a DNS poisoning attack. He asserts that bad actors attempted to associate him with the project, and he has since addressed the issue by fixing the problem and updating passwords.
Potential Nintendo Involvement:
While Bowser claims innocence, Nintendo, vigilant against piracy, may scrutinize the situation further. The MIG-Switch, although marketed for legitimate purposes, is widely recognized for facilitating piracy, and Nintendo may take actions to combat such activities.
Monitoring the Situation:
The situation remains noteworthy, and further developments may arise as Nintendo and relevant parties respond to the allegations and assess any potential links between Gary Bowser and the MIG-Switch project.
