I was just playing online when this one person kept warping into first and being immune to all weapons. It wasn't lag as everyone else was a clean hit as soon as hit with an item so I'm thinking it could be a hacker. I'm currently seeing if I can upload a highlight reel showing this.
Let's not "panic" too soon, maybe something glitched, like the player disconnecting and the CPU took over "wrongly" making a mess. Even a fine tuned game like mario Kart 8 could have weird stuffs happening occasionally.
Still I can't wait to see the video if you'll manage to upload the reel, be it the program failing for a race or an hacker it should be an interesting view XD (but definitly hope is not the latter else bye bye online fun in MK8 >.>;;; ).
I'm really confused about uploading videos, for some reason only uploading to Nintendo Network provides a random screenshot. Do you need to upload to Youtube for it to be a video?
I remember the two times my internet went out while I was playing MK8 I jumped from tenth to first before I disconnected. Shouldn't be so quick to accuse people of hacking.

A similar thing happened to me. I was in second the first lap on bowser castle, at the end of the second lap, the guy in first takes a sharp left and dives off the stage. I take the lead and lead till about the final portion before the finish line. Out of thin air (I saw his car materialize), the guy appears in front of me and takes the lead just in time to win. It was the second time in a row that this happened with the same user. I exited the room, because cheaters like him don't deserve the satisfaction of beating me. I know it wasn't lag, since I had been playing for 2 hours smoothly beforehand.

Internet connections are not constant in their strength. Maybe more people got home and was using the internet for that person. Maybe it just went into prime hours for internet use so his connection was slowed. It could have been lag still.
