Pokemon Go could have Google security risksReuters The augmented reality mobile game "Pokemon Go" is at the top of the app charts. Cybersecurity expert Dan Guido told Gizmodo that "full account access" means Niantic can only access your email address and phone number. Fans of Pokemon Go risk could inadvertently sharing their Google data when logging into the game. However, many tech blogs claim that if you sign into the game with a Google account the app can gain permission for information linked to the account. The best way to avoid any potential problems is to sign up with the Pokemon Trainer Club, which is an account with the Pokemon Company.
