I read the article and it's about this person hacking Nintendo servers and stealing confidential information. But I still don't understand what Nintendo's Switch surprise is? Can someone fill me in? I am aware of what a Nintendo Switch is.

From the article it looks like he published information about the existence of the Nintendo Switch before Nintendo officially announced it

That seems to be correct: "That stolen information, including pre-release information about the anticipated Nintendo Switch console, was leaked to the public." -- from https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdwa/pr/california-man-who-hack...

I think this may be a better link since it's most likely the press release that this article is based on, and doesn't have a clickbait title

Every other comment saying this has been killed, but...how to trust this charge anymore, I have no idea.

> In October 2017, the FBI contacted Hernandez and his parents to ask him to stop hacking, at which time Hernandez “confirmed that he understood the consequences of any future hacking.”
