This is according to r/switchhacks on Reddit. I have not confirmed this myself, but am going to once I am home with my switch. Apparently, if you turn on airplane mode while installing a >=10GB nsp, your console will brick. The issue was reported on GitHub, but was deleted by Blawar. (Which I guess you can now delete issues on GitHub? WTF?)
I am not saying that this is malicious, I am not 100% sure this is true yet, I am not saying he deleted the issue because he wants to brick people, this is just a PSA at the moment until somethings are confirmed.
This is also according to the same thread over there. I will be editing OP with more info as I test.
Tinfoil (TM), former DZ - bricks consoles.
Goldleaf that is former tinfoil - works fine.
Edit: Finally home and able to test. Nothing happened when using confirmed .nsp files. I would like to try the pikachu brick, but it probably won't do anything, so no need to mess with it. Guy must have been talking out his ass, carry on regular everyone, sorry for the scare.
