Do you feel botnet yet?
http://uk.complex.com/pop-culture/2016/07/pokemon-go-full-access-email
Since its July 6 release, the nostalgia-inducing Pokémon Go has taken over all aspects of users’ lives, including their porn—and possibly their Google accounts.
The security risk was first pointed out by Adam Reeve, who works for RedOwl, a security analytics platform. Reeve not only revealed that Pokémon Go is gaining full account access, but also detailed what that means for users whom logged into the app with Google accounts.
The issue arises because users need accounts to play and can only log in with accounts from pokemon.com or Google. Reeve and ZDNet reported the Pokemon website wasn't allowing for new registrations, so people feigning to catch 'em all were left with no choice but to log in with Google accounts.
According to Reeve, a message detailing the kind of access he was granting the Pokémon Go application didn't come up after he logged in. He was only able to see the app had full account access when he checked on his Google account.

Google is totally going to end up using all the data gathered to map the inside of homes, places of business, and supplement data collected by their maps cars.
People are willingly walking around doing tens of billions of dollars worth of work for Google in exchange for a laughably empty and shallow AR game.

That sure makes it more trustworthy, yes

Good thing I don't use my Google account for anything

And you assumed otherwise why?
>>55538140
As expected, nothing to hide faggots come out of the woodwork.

Google doesn't own them anymore
>>55538192
apparently google users store porn in their email inbox or on google drive.
>>55538213
It's Google, a Jew-owned company. That is all I need to know

>Using your real email address for this stuff
Just create another google account dedicated for those kind of stuff
>>55538391
It has access to your web browser, history, and all your bookmarks as well.
Its incredibly far reaching. They're pulling every bit of metadata possible from all users.

C'mon son.
>>55538213

actually that's a good question. They are not owned by google, but are they owned by alphabet ?
>>55538568
I know you do, so, here's your:
(You)
>>55538577
No they're independent now. They still seem to be close with Google/Alphabet but not actually owned by them
>>55538654
I was joking yeah, but seriously, the millions of people playing don't give a shit or ever will
>>55538660
It's weird since they are using the google servers.

IT'S ALL A MISUNDERSTANDING PLEASE KEEP PLAYING
>>55538687
Yes, I know. It's truly a brilliant strategy.
>>55538722
Working real well too, its fucking exploding in users

They really nailed it this time. The NSA is must be really proud.
>>55538833
You can minimize spying and avoid it as much as possible. It's only feasible for Stallman and Snowden to live truly free.
>>55538032
Yeah that's why I only play games that were released 20 years ago on botnet free, secure devices
I don't have that game, but what happened to per-app permissions? Are people really blindly letting an app have full access to their accounts?
>>55538140
Post you email and password.

Daily reminder Pokemon Go is funded by the government
>parents wouldn't buy OP Pokémon when he was a kid
>still mad at parents
>takes it out on the world now
Sorry about your childhood anon
>>55539395
I'm too old for Pokemon (born 1973)
Sorry, kid
>>55539419
Jesus Christ shouldn't you be planning for retirement grandpa?
>>55539465
I already am. Browsing at work, child. :)
>>55538032
No surprise there. Actually, there kind of is. I thought this game was meant to simulate a civil war and the DOD would pay for the data, but I figued they were funding the game in the first place. But I suppose that money would be a lump sum rather than a contiunous stream of revenue, and they need to keep the servers up until they can get enough data on territorial gains to sell.
>access to your Google account
I couldn't give a fuck. I only use it for Youtube. I have a hotmail account...
Don't tell me it access that as well please...?
>>55538918
>>55538892
Well that's not the same thing at all freetard.
"Post all your emails" might be a little more appropriate.
I'm sick of this pokemon go meme and it's not even been a week
>>55538816
Too bad you can't play it now.
Can't you sign in with a pokemon trainer account though? Then you won't be giving them full access to your Google account.
>>55539483
the absolute madman
>>55540098
They have new registrations off, something about servers and shit.
>>55540112
This is bullshit because I literally just created a pokemon trainer account, downloaded pokemon go and and signed in with my trainer account
>>55540163
Eh, that's what it said when I tried before. Guess you can make them now.
>>55538032
>incorrect use of whom
I hope they fire whoever the fuck wrote this, and any moron that was supposed to proofread it.
Pokémon is trash, Pokémon Go is worse than trash, this article is worse than Pokémon Go, and this thread is worse than the article.
I barely use that email for anything anyway. People call me a tin foil hat nut job because I encrypting my data to protect again theft but insanity is building a shelter after the war begins. If you own a cell phone, house, car etc. you don't get to be paranoid about this shit. Three-letter agencies don't give a shit about you. You are not that important. You are not Osama Bin Laden. Are you afraid that this data will become compromised? Well here's a news flash for you retards; nothing is 100% secure. Everything has potential security holes.

>a message detailing the kind of access he was granting the Pokémon Go application didn't come up after he logged in
Can fucking confirm this, I got the apk just to see how shitty the game is and it didn't even asked for my permission, it just got greenlight. Nintendo you fucking bastards.
>>55542580
don't make it on that website, retard. there's another site which lets you also make a pokemon club account and it still works on the app.
