Nintendo is disabling the ability to log into a Nintendo Account through a Nintendo Network ID (NNID) after the confirmation that up to 160,000 Nintendo accounts have been accessed in an enormous privacy breach. That led to the limited amount of PII information exposure. 
Gaming company is unaware how exactly the intrusion was conducted saying only ‘seems to have been made by impersonating login to “Nintendo Network ID”.
Customers (mostly Switch users) who used MFA (multi-factor authentication) are safe, others can expect exposure of Names, Nicknames, gender, countries, date of birth and emails.
Nintendo is asking affected users to contact the company so it can investigate the purchase history and cancel purchases.
