'The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom' might be the largest first-party Nintendo Switch game

There are hints that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will be the largest first-party Nintendo game on the Switch. A Redditor clocked that the Japanese version of the game comes in at 18.2GB, which is the same size claim the US Nintendo eShop makes. Meanwhile, the UK Nintendo eShop mentions you'll need 18.6GB of storage.

When compared to Breath of the Wild, that takes up around 14.7GB on your system. So, we're expecting a more expansive adventure this time around. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is coming out on May 12.

Ubisoft can't update 'The Division 2' because of a botched fix

Ubisoft's made a bit of a problem for itself with its recent The Division 2 update. The company revealed that a development "error" has broken the shared-world shooter's build generation system. It's bad enough that it hampers the studio's ability to even update the game. They can't introduce a new season or even extend the outgoing one.

The studio said it has made "good progress" in fixing the problem in recent days. And there are hints of a solution in sight. There's an ongoing "unscheduled maintenance" session, which should fix issues including the inability to make seasonal in-game purchases. And hopefully, there's a fix for this current problem.

Reddit got hacked through a phishing attack targeting its employees

Bad actors were able to steal a Reddit employee's credentials through a targeted phishing attack, and hackers were able to infiltrate its systems on February 5. According to a spokesperson from the company, they were able to access some of the site's "internal docs, code, as well as some internal dashboards and business systems." Data like contact information for hundreds of company contracts, current and former employees, and some advertisers were also exposed. However, Reddit assures users that the security team investigating the incident hasn't found any evidence so far that the passwords or any other non-public data have been compromised. They haven't found any indication that the stolen information was shared online, at least for now. Reddit said they are "continuing to investigate and monitor the situation closely."

Reddit employees were apparently getting "plausible-sounding prompts" that lead to a website that mimics the look and behaviour of its intranet gateway. It was designed this way so they can steal people's logins and second-factor tokens. An employee, unfortunately, fell for the scheme but immediately self-reported. This allowed Reddit's security team to respond to the situation.
