Hi, yes I have a feeling that this will happen!, my girlfriend played her account on a legit way but i asked her to give me the account fow me to level it up higher than expected that i mean BOTTING it for couple of hours... i botted it last week and just ONCE.... after it she played it for a couple of days legitimately... but then, a moment ago she was texting me that she was receiving failure to get data from the server.... that is why i came here looking for an answer then i just came across this thread... hope someone could clarify this because ALL OF us heavy or non heavy botter time will come that ALL OF US who used pokeFarmer will taste the HAMMER OF THOR!!!

All last Night the last of my Accounts got bustet i got not one left now!

If they dont give us one Warningshot bia Mail then its over!

found this in Reddit we are all Toast:

Signature, formerly Unkonwn6, contains some critical data used for Anti-Cheat detection:

• Device information like brand, model, firmware, root status
• IMU / orientation sensor data (gyro, accelerometer, compass)
• on Android: details about every visible/used in fix GPS sattelite

so when you...

1. played on Nox/BS: you yelled "emulator" everywhere + 3.
2. GPS spoofed on iOS: sensor data not matching walking
3. GPS spoofed on Android: 2. + sat details were empty/zero
4. used IV checkers / 3rd party API tools with your account:
   static/zero values for sensors+gps, different, not unique device
5. API usage before u6 was *****ed: you sent no signature at all.

(if you only spoofed yourself to a static location with iOS, not teleporting and having the position set before opening the app, you are probably fine, because aside of your ip, data resembled a phone resting on a park bench or smth, which got picked up only for catching an encounter)
