Click bait.<p>It wasn't "real world spy warfare", which makes me think of Hong Kong protests vs China. It's literally just players cheating at a massive scale in a real world game by (in some cases) stalking others and taking the game too seriously.<p>A good read though, if you're into AR games.
I was hoping this would be something like a nation state manipulating an AR app's reward locations to pick up images or audio from hacked phones. Has anyone tried that yet?
