don't care really. but chasing around virtual characters on your phone in the real world is jacked up to me. if you're having fun, have it. but funny how we just take people at their word if we want to believe 'em anyway.
in all seriousness, i doubt they did. the "find" was too quick and the solution out too fast. someone just wasn't paying attention. but imagine what someone *could* sneak onto your phone guised as "the latest craze" and 95% of the people (or more) won't care what permissions it's asking for - just get into into the fad.
as for maps of my home and so forth - wouldn't it be simplier to just see which builder did it and google their house plans off their site if they really cared? ryland. build my home 18 years ago. go to their home plan library and get it.
done.
or....
invent a new game (which actually is ingress with stupid characters on it)
put stupid characters on it so people eat that **** up
make it a semi-technical hide n go seek
and watch it go viral and see how many you can loop in.
again - if i gave a damn about the given fad i'd be sucked in also. i don't really check what permissions they ask for when i install something. i guess i count on malware bytes to find what i'm doing wrong.
