Hacking CFW Ban Wave Help?

[Cjmcgiv]

Hello all, Ive been out of the 3ds CFW scene for a while and the last big new I heard of was the ban wave impacting CFW users. My 3ds was off before the ban wave started and I have not turned it on since. It seems like this community has been just fine so what do I absolutely need to know and really the big thing is if this ban wave will still impact me. Thanks!
