Supposedly Team Xecuter has gotten Switch backups running on Custom Firmware. This kind of scares me because Pokemon hasn't released yet and there are about 20M+ Switches out there that can run this exploit. Things like this usually don't bother me, but the fact that it's happening so early is concerning. It was bound to happen but man, I don't even think DS was hacked with backups this early. Hopefully Nintendo can find a way to combat this or just hope not that many people are pirates.

What do you guys think? I for one am actually against it but there's not much I, or anyone else can do at this point.

Edit: I forgot to mention, yes this specific exploit requires a purchase of a $30 USB-C Dongle to install the CFW, however teams like FailOverflow will most likely find workarounds for users to do the same for free.
