A new report reveals that a Google employee, who had access to private videos from Nintendo’s YouTube account, is responsible for revealing information in advance about the company’s plans.
This comes from an outlet that had access to an internal Google database that tracked six years of self-reported privacy and security issues. Precise details about this incident are not known.
What does Google say about these leaks that harmed Nintendo? The company notes that it conducted an internal review of the incident and concluded that it was not intentional.

However, these comments do not fully clarify what happened. What’s worse is that the report points to dozens of other incidents in which Google violated its own privacy policies. Although in most cases this was accidental and unintentional.
Some remember when Google Street View transcribed a large number of plate licenses. And another in which a Google voice service mistakenly recorded voice data from several users, including a thousand children.
That only happened within an hour but it gave a lot to talk about. The company clarified that all data related to these incidents has been deleted. Now, how did the Nintendo thing come to light?
404 Media, which is the source of the information, indicated that an anonymous source was the one who sent it a copy of the database. Google confirmed the veracity of the data contained therein.
At the moment it is not known if Nintendo, which is known for its legal team, will take any action of this type to find whoever had unauthorized access to its content. But some believe that one or more leakers could be in the company’s sights.
