"An update on my never-ending First Strikes"
#PokemonGO: I've been documenting my ongoing issue with First Strikes here: https://ift.tt/2Y60dGa continue to receive the red and black First Strike warning despite not spoofing and having no apps that can access my Pokemon Go login info (I just received my 7th First Strike warning).I requested my data from Pokemon Go on May 5th, and the data arrived yesterday. I was going through the data, looking for anything odd. One of the documents sent was my Locations.tsv file. Mine goes back to 02/02/2020, and for almost all the entries, my location is roughly 51, -114 (Calgary).However, I noticed that on 02/15/2020, my location briefly jumped for one minute to 0 0, Null Island.This repeated on 2/22/2020 with 18 jumps of 20 seconds at a time.Could this potentially flag Niantic's anti-cheating algorithm? I really hope I don't have 12 more First Strike warnings to look forward to.I'm going to forward this data to Support and see if this can solve the recurring First Strike issue.Has anyone else noticed a strange jump to Null Island in their location data?Edit: More about Null Island: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjvIpI-1w84Oh, wow. From that video:If your phone doesn't know where you are, it might tag a photo you take with latitude NULL and longitude NULL, or it might tell an app that your location is NULL, NULL. No problem so far.But badly written apps can read that as coordinates "zero, zero": they've mistaken nothing for "nothing". So they'll think that you are on Null Island--at least until your phone works out where you really are.More seriously in the 2012 US election, many voters in Wisconsin lived in places that the Census Bureau didn't have coordinates for. So a new automatic system said they lived on Null Island, which is definitely not in any Wisconsin election district." via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/2Bw1kar
