Pokémon Warning fellow Go'ers!!!!

[DaCoSim]

Do not, I repeat, do NOT download the Pokemon radar app!!!!! It's an app where peeps can pinpoint who they have found at certain locations to help out others. Unfortunately, my game got hacked yesterday due to this app. I was using the radar app to try and find a snorlax but gave up and went home and when I got home, there was a bulbasaur in my driveway so I pinpointed his location. When I got up the next morning, I caught something but it broke out after the first try and poofed away. No biggie right? Yeah, for the next 20-30 Pokemon I caught (even little guys like pidgys and rattatas) did the same thing. I also couldn't pick up anything from the stops. Finally my 14 year checked something with his phone, and lo and behold, there was someone showing. He took care of it, and I went on google and sure enough i had someone trying to hack in there as well. Changed my password and everything is all good now. Was sucky though for sure!!!

Thanks for posting this. Sorry it happened to you. My friend sent us a picture of it, but I dunno if anyone downloaded it. I didn't, because I just didn't think it'd work...

Thanks for the warning.

Your welcome! Yeah I saw someone else that got hacked using it as well on fb.

Wow that's not good. I don't play Pokemon Go myself as it's not available on Windows phone (otherwise i'd try it) but that's shocking.

Thank you, now I definitely won't
