Just as always its always better to be safe than sorry and just wait for the dev’s to figure out what Nintendo has done to try and block them. Now, this could take a while to crack open but probably not as these devs are so clever at bypassing Nintendo Switch security nowadays. So be patient and wait for the ok to update to 7.0.0 if you like using CFW on the Switch.
7.0.0 changes the TSEC Firmware used for SecureBoot + changes keys. Don't update to it until further notice. https://t.co/8qMKnkmtPQ

Update:
As I wrote this post, not even more than 2mins have gone by and they have already cracked FW 7.0.0. Now, all we have to do is wait for the CFW updates to start popping up before updating to FW7.0.0 but do not update until you see that new CFW has been released for FW7.0.0.
7.0.0 cracked

In other news, TrustZone is now stored compressed, and has a short stub to uncompress itself. What a pain, haha! This may mean it'll take a little longer for my IDC for new TrustZone to go out. pic.twitter.com/svYl5zuTlw
