Pokemon Go has full access to your Email

Do you feel botnet yet?

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.

I have nothing to hide

1. that's what you get for using an iShit
2. it's being fixed adamreeve.tumblr.com/post/147269518059/final-pokemon-update

You can check it yourself.

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.

>it's being fixed

That sure makes it more trustworthy, yes

Here it is:

>Porn
Wat

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

>A Google owned company has full access to your Google account
And you assumed otherwise why?

As expected, nothing to hide faggots come out of the woodwork.

prove it's untrustworthy

Google doesn't own them anymore

apparently google users store porn in their email inbox or on google drive.

It's Google, a Jew-owned company. That is all I need to know

...

>current years
>Using your real email address for this stuff
Just create another google account dedicated for those kind of stuff

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.

who caresfam

C'mon son.

>Google doesn't own them anymore
actually that's a good question. They are not owned by google, but are they owned by alphabet ?

I know you do, so, here's your:
(You)

No they're independent now. They still seem to be close with Google/Alphabet but not actually owned by them

I was joking yeah, but seriously, the millions of people playing don't give a shit or ever will

It's weird since they are using the google servers.

IT'S ALL A MISUNDERSTANDING PLEASE KEEP PLAYING

Yes, I know. It's truly a brilliant strategy.

Working real well too, its fucking exploding in users

...

If a service is paid you are both client and product, don't be naive

Fun while it lasted

TOP LEL M8

Did you tell Windows 10 users that Microsoft spies on them yet?

They really nailed it this time. The NSA is must be really proud.

You can minimize spying and avoid it as much as possible. It's only feasible for Stallman and Snowden to live truly free.

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?

Post you email and password.

>2011+5
>still no per-app permissions
top kek

>thinks per-app-permissions do anything

LOL

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 user

I'm too old for Pokemon (born 1973)

Sorry, kid

Jesus Christ shouldn't you be planning for retirement grandpa?

I already am. Browsing at work, child. :)

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...?

...

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

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.

the absolute madman

They have new registrations off, something about servers and shit.

This is bullshit because I literally just created a pokemon trainer account, downloaded pokemon go and and signed in with my trainer account

Eh, that's what it said when I tried before. Guess you can make them now.

>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.

*It gets me out of the house more often instead of sitting around programming all day.
Also take this shit to

Pokemon is mainstream American culture

I don't give two shits about pokemon either way.

...

I've got nothing about pokemon go there

I have a gmail so google has it all anyway what do I care

Shit 90% of you aren't using your own servers.

Cool they can see all the stupid emails I get from people on kijiji

that issue applied to people on iOS and also in the USA only

wanna buy a fujitsu lifebook?

Jokes on you, the Google account on my Android device is only used for spam shit.

>droidfags

Same, apparently it's only an iOS issue.

Do you people realize Niantic, the developer of the game is literally owned by Google? It's a google app, you dipshits.

Fuck off

i have nothing to hide, i'm not a criminal.

This senpai.

I don't get the uproar.

"OH NO, A GOOGLE APP CAN READ MY GOOGLE EMAILS"

No fuckin shit

i literally just made a pokemon club account and didn't have to sign in with google.

9to5mac.com/2016/07/12/pokemon-go-ios-update-google-account-access/ FIXED, NERDS

Lots of anons do

>i literally just made a pokemon club account

nice lie, asshole. i've been trying to create an account for a good 6 hours

>ZDNET

Go back to your designated street, Sundar

I don't have a smart phone yay

Fixed in 1.0.1 that was just released.

Google no longer own Niantic.

Got something to hide?

No because I don't use apple shit. Fuck you iphone using scum die in a fucking fire.

>having something to hide

>tfw this doesn't apply to me because I don't use overpriced apple garbage

Kill yourself OP, you made the wrong choice.

Keep refreshing.

...

They just patched and changed it.

>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.

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.
