Yep, they can send emails from your gmail, access files in your drive, check your search history.
ANYTHING (save for google wallet and killing your account).

HAHAHA! I'm so glad I didn't download this spyware.

as though anyone gives a shit
you know how many other apps you have that could completely ruin you right now if they so chose?
unless you're a paranoid tinfoil hatter in which case you wouldn't even fall for a piece of news like this
>>

Very few apps have full access.

>So far, this problem appears to mostly affect iOS devices. Although there are reports floating around about some Android devices being affected too, we were unable to replicate it on any of our Android devices–but it’s almost definitely happening to some phones. We were able to replicate it consistently on iOS.


Applefags getting what they deserve as per usual.

I trust Nintendo. They don't get hacked like Sony and aren't slimy fucks like Microsoft with Windows 10.
>>
>my phone account is totally separate from my other accounts

Could they use the acess to my phone to use the two step verification for Steam? Otherwise I'm totally fine.

>>344718809
If you're stupid enough to have a google account in the first place - you don't have any notion of privacy

What are you hiding? Something illegal? If not, you have nothing to worry about.

Besides, it's Nintendo. They're on the side of gamers, and wouldn't do anything bad even if they took your info. Just relax.

>>344718809
>Nintendo has your data
Sure, I trust them, enjoy my data.

Maybe because they had no reason to try to hack into any Nintendo network when for the majority of it's service life has been friend codes and limited network functionality until the Wii U. The possibilities on this Pokemon Go system could attract hackers more though. I'm not trying to bash Nintendo, I own a Wii U and a 3DS. The assessment just seems reasonable to me.

>>344718809
It's already been claimed to be a mistake, verified by Google that they didn't use the unintended extra data, and that Google will be reverting the unnecessary privileges.

Relax, retards.

Think about it /v/

The more accounts you have across different services the more likely that one of them will get hacked and have your information stolen

You will be hacked eventually

If you have a google account and are only now starting to worry about this stuff, boy have i got some bad news for you.

Something to worry is Nintendo network getting hacked.


That is quite harmless, also why the fuck you are using personal e-mail on phones?
