Playing 'Pokemon Go' Is Potentially a Huge Security Risk If You're Using Your Google Account on iOS

Niantic 已经就此事作出回应： We recently discovered that the Pokémon GO account creation process on iOS erroneously requests full access permission for the user ’ s Google account. However, Pokémon GO only accesses basic Google profile information (specifically, your User ID and email address) and no other Google account information is or has been accessed or collected. Once we became aware of this error, we began working on a client-side fix to request permission for only basic Google profile information, in line with the data that we actually access. Google has verified that no other information has been received or accessed by Pokémon GO or Niantic. Google will soon reduce Pokémon GO ’ s permission to only the basic profile data that Pokémon GO needs, and users do not need to take any actions themselves.
