A series of Nintendo internal documents allegedly leaked earlier today, and may contain information that could be very damaging to the company.
Given the sensitive nature of the leak, it’s difficult to be sure where it got first posted, and whether its content is legit or if this is an elaborate hoax. The files could very well be a mix of legitimate leaks mixed with stuff of more dubious origin.
According to twitter account @forestillusion, some older Nintendo switch private keys were leaked, but “apparently changed sometime between the files in this leak and the launch of the system”.

This somewhat reminds me of the PS3 keys for version 3.55 getting out there. In response to that years ago, Sony had to implement a massive whitelist of games to address the problem. I figure Nintendo might try doing the same.
