TOKYO (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): A fish playing a video game in Japan took control of its owner’s Nintendo Switch account, changed the username, set up a PayPal account and then racked up a credit card bill.

This may sound fishy, but it actually happened during a live-stream event on the YouTube page of a YouTuber known as Mutekimaru.
