Global ++ hacker group agreed to pay $ 5 million to Niantic after they sued in 2019. Global ++ hacker group will pay Niantic $ 5 million in damages for hacking games. The studio reportedly filed a lawsuit against the hackers in 2019, accusing them of creating modified versions of their games. For a long time, attackers created various modifications for Pokemon Go, Ingress, and Harry Potter Wizards Unite, each of which was a hacked version of the games. The hackers were able to modify the games using the source code. Thanks to this, players could gain various advantages over others in a dishonest way. In addition, Global ++ has made a profit by selling thousands of subscriptions.
Global ++ agreed to not only pay $ 5 million to developers, but also stop hacking and selling products that use Niantic's code, and interfere with mobile games or studio servers.
