I tried the 0.0.2 and it produced untrimmed dumps with matching CRC to nxdumptool-rewrite. The USB dumper produces trimmed dumps tho.

My mistake. I checked it myself a little while ago to confirm. The Mig Dumper homebrew seems to have issues dumping multi-game carts. At least I had a bunch of issues.
 
Nintendo seems to be stepping up their telemetry.
I'm getting Xbox 360 XGD3/AP2.5 vibes again here.

Make sense. If hekxyz say they updated their telemetry it's more than likely true.

so using a migswitch is most likely a death sentence of WHEN not IF

Still trying to find anyone that has been banned that only used the migswitch AFTER the 1.2 firmware update and not before

If the MigSwitch team figure out how to properly spoof. But Nintendo aren't as stupid as people say. Remember it was Nvidia that was defeated, not Nintendo. All the previous exploits been long patched.

The lotus3 keys got hacked and why it got defeated. Gigaleak probably helped and decapping is much cheaper now days.
 
BREAKING NEWS

As per TotalJustice findings, previously, on MIG firmware 1.1.9 I performed this test
  1. Performing an untrimmed dump of a cart with nxdumptool-rewrite
  2. Putting the untrimmed dump on the MIG cart
  3. Performing an untrimmed dump of the MIG cart with nxdumptool-rewrite
  4. Comparing the CRC of both dumps getting the same exact CRC
Then
  1. Performing a trimmed dump of a cart with nxdumptool rewrite or with the MIG USB dumper
  2. Putting the trimmed dump on the MIG cart
  3. Performing an untrimmed dump of the MIG cart with nxdumptool rewrite
  4. The dump crashed and aborted when surpassing the ValidDataEndAddress
This to confirm with a different experiment that MIG carts with trimmed dumps are functionally different from OG carts and therefore potentially detectable.

Today I performed the first (untrimmed dump) experiment with the 1.2.0 firmware and step 3 resulted in a crash and abort of the dump process (just like the second trimmed dump experiment). Therefore in my findings, today, any MIG cart is potentially detectable by Nintendo even on old Switch 1 and with untrimmed dumps... I highly suggest to NOT USE MIG carts until further investigation.

TotalJustice can you please confirm (or hopefully debate) my findings with Sphaira?
I really hope I did something wrong.
Thank you in advance.

Sorry for the cross post with the Switch 2 Forum, but this IMHO is way too important.
