Pokémon Go creator FleeceKing gets account back after hack but security concerns remain

A Pokémon Go player who was made to watch their hard-earned ‘mons get deleted in front of their eyes after a hacker gained access to their Pokédex has had their account restored by Niantic today, but questions remain over security vulnerabilities and just how the hacker gained access.

Popular Australian creator FleeceKing’s Pokémon Go account was cracked on March 13 with the hacker, known as “MasterWarlord01” on X (formerly Twitter) going so far as to record a video deleting FleeceKing’s hard-earned collection. Almost three million people viewed the hacker’s clip as of March 14.
