[Announcement] With a huge number of newly released bots going around

[meronoid]

With the launch of Pokemon GO there's a huge number of automation bots going around, requesting for user's Email and Password. So my word of advice is practice safety precaution and be aware of all the official bots as well as the newer ones as It doesn't take much effort for a developer with malicious intent to change the source code into stealing your account information.

Do patiently wait for people to review the bots first before trying it if you have no experience in reviewing the source code, Thank you.

Or just use NecroBot so you can actually see the source for yourself and adjust it to your liking. :P

NecroBot is officially gone and taken over by some-one/group? It is things like this which is worrying for the public users... (*dramas)

? It is not gone. Only Necro is no longer working on it, it's just been renamed that's all.

@everyone TL;DR Necro was holding us back, we have elected a new project lead and will no longer be working with Necro. So we have forked all of the work into a new repo and rebranded. The bot will remain free! Extra info: The new version will be faster and teleporting has been added!

Thank you for the correct updates!
Nevertheless I would still like urge the public to practice safety precaution.

As of few hours ago NecroBot is back in action. There clearly is some drama going on in between NecroBot and PokeMobBot, so please do be wary of your account credentials.
