Gamer’s Pet Fish Commits Credit Card Fraud While Playing His Nintendo SwitchThe fish was having a good time, but his owner, not so much.Japanese YouTuber Mutekimaru decided to install a sophisticated motion detection tracking software in his fishtanks, which allows his pets to “play” video games. This kind of content is what his channel was known for, actually. In a live stream, viewers not only get to enjoy a fish swimming around as it played Pokemon, but they also get a glimpse of how credit card fraud happens in real time. The fish was able to log on to the console’s e-store, change their owner’s avatar, and set up a PayPal account. It was also able to rack up a credit card bill that left viewers (and Mutekimaru) speechless. The content creator stepped away for a break when the game crashed and the console returned to the home screen. The fish carried on swimming in its tank, and due to the motion sensors, it could still continue to control the console. For seven hours, the pet fish was able to add 500 yen ($4) to Mutekimaru’s Switch account from his credit card. This is kind of in line with credit card fraud, as the fish did not have the YouTuber’s permission. It’s not like the poor thing can be admissible in court though, right?For now, Mutekimaru has revealed that his pet was able to expose his credit card details in the process. He has also said that he contacted Nintendo to ask for a refund for his 500 yen.Image credit: Mutekimaru#fraud #fish #motionsensors #gaming #YouTube #Nintendo #Pokemon
