PSA: Soft-bricking 'Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!' NSP out in the wild

[smileyhead]

If you find an NSP of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!, do not install it! There is a fake pirate version of the game out in the wild that contains not the game, but a bricking code that will soft-brick your Nintendo Switch. Always have a recent NAND backup! In this case, if the malware causes damage to your Switch, you can only recover by restoring a backup!
Installing Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! should be safe, but be careful.
Stay safe, friends.

Please edit the site name out of your post, you can't mention piracy sites by name on this forum.

What is the hash for this fake NSP?

Buy the game, it's actually pretty good. I was initially against the game, but then I preordered it the day before it came out and have no regrets here.
