A few days ago we announced that Niantic was taking very strict measures against users who cheat on Pokémon Go . A few hours ago, we received the news that Pokémon Go prevented access to all users of the Belgian operator Proximus .
Despite the strangeness of the news, it seems that it has finally been returned to the users of this operator and it has been clarified that the banning of all Proximus users has been by mistake .
The reason is not another that the main developer of bots for the Pokémon Go game is located in Belgium . These bots allow you to increase the level of Pokémon faster than other users and also help us locate powerful Pokémons faster.
The Belgian bot developer uses the name of Pokemongodev and was located by a very "silly" error. When we use applications through the internet, we are assigned an IP address that allows us to locate and identify ourselves. Niantic was able to collect all the IP addresses used by this developer because it used a single telephone company, Proximus.
Proximus is one of the most important telephone companies in Belgium and from Niantic, by mistake banned all users who used this company, instead of banning only the developer Pokemongodev.
I do not know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but it seems that despite Niantic's efforts to keep cheating users away, more and more applications appear on the net and allow us to cheat on Pokémon Go.
A small search on Google and we find radars, fake GPS apps, etc. Many users demand a definitive solution to the traps, but many others look for day by day how to skip the protections of the game to cheat.
Who will win the battle, Niantic or the bot developers?
