[Ban] This is one way Niantic can detect you.

I had to fresh install Nox just to test this since mine has a custom kernel, but I personally used Firefox and it didn't display this same information so I'd doubt them relying on this sort of information for bans as it might have false positives.

We have no idea though, for right now I wouldn't worry too much and have your fun, but it's likely there are going to be ban waves. How they are going to dish out the bans we'll just have to wait and see! Could be anything as Ingress bans were fairly lax with only bans happening if you were actually stupid and flew all over the US, as some of my friends did.

If you're super scared and want to keep your account, don't cheat as there's always a risk. I'd still recommend playing it smart, and not looking like a cheater but don't be surprised if you get banned.

Can we see some proof of being banned instead of just loading screen disconnects? As we all know servers continue to be somewhat unstable.
Surely there would be a message of account termination or something along the line..

And if this is legit, have you ever been softbanned?

See the edited previous post ^^

I'm pretty sure that no API currently perfectly mimics the client, meaning that the easiest way to catch cheaters would be looking at differences in the client-server communication.
