My console was banned Monday night, before it really became a banwave. My situation...
1.) Spotpass was disabled, for a long time, at least since a NAND restore in February, at most since I first got it in October last year.
2.) The Friends List App setting about showing titles being played to friends, was unwittingly left enabled. In contrast all my 6 other consoles had both Spotpass and this setting disabled and have not been banned (at least not yet).
3.) I never used Freeshop, I browsed it once a year ago to see if ORAS updates can be downloaded. They couldn't, this was the banned console. Remembering more, another console, I searched on Freeshop for SM updates, still nothing, and that is currently unbanned.
4.) The banned console really had the least unsighned CIA. NTR CFW, FTPD, InputRedirectionNTR, I ran those the most. When I called Nintendo CS on Tuesday, the rep said that they picked up something on Monday. The thing is all I did was run NTR CFW, the Friends List app to add people, and boot up Pokemon Moon. It does make me lean towards the Friends List app setting.
5.) It may not be a coincidence that I've done the most genning on that particular console, with that particular Moon game. Seeing as it never game synced too, perhaps that kind of activity was detected and I got snuffed out.
6.) Not so significant given the varied userbase, I have 11.4 B9S CFW, on all consoles.
7.) I never went online with the leaked SM copies. I did play a tiny bit (5 minutes worth, technically about 45 minutes but that's the damn cutscenes), but on a console that is currently not banned.
I think I explained enough. The bottom line is they were able to detect the use of "unauthorized software" better than usual, and acted hastily, perhaps in response to B9S and SigHax, and/or an accumulation of building up a list of people to ban, with this week being execution time. Unfortunately the banned console also had the most NNID purchases, so if I can't move that to a safe console, I'm looking at $30-40 of repurchases (if I want the Smash 4 DLC, I'll likely opt out, it still is crap if I had to buy this stuff again).
