Niantic’s latest security measure introduced “rare blinding” for suspicious
accounts. The security measure prevents certain accounts from seeing any rare
spawns in the wild.
Although controversial, the security measure proved wildly successful, as it i
nduced a large amount of panic and disarray in the botting and tracking commun
ity. Multiple malicious platforms (account sellers and bot providers) announce
d a temporary inability to provide high level botted accounts!
And while the legitimate player base is, mostly, celebrating the new security
update, others do not share their excitement.
In order to learn more about the effect of this measure, we reached out to a n
umber of “informants” that are tightly connected to several third party deve
lopers.
Our sources have confirmed the following:
Third party developers have no idea how the new security measure works
Although the exact number of blinded accounts is impossible to determine, earl
y estimates range from tens to hundreds of thousands.
Blinded accounts were created in the past 3-6 months, indicating that Niantic
has been collecting the data for quite a while
Although unverified, the word on the street is that machine learning has final
ly been employed — a number of “looking legitimate” bot accounts are still
not blinded
Not everyone has the same experience, with some botters claiming zero accounts
blinded, and others reporting complete annihilation of their account farm.
All in all, it seems that Niantic’s new security measure was very successful.
Although bots are trying to regroup and rebuild their account farms, it’s go
ing very slowly.
大家覺得這機制如何？？
我覺得不錯,最少有制止到國外的飛人跟賣號網站.
