Nintendo’s viral mobile hit game Pokemon Go has been deemed a security risk by the IDF and banned on all Israeli military bases.
The IDF’s Security Division this week determined that because Pokemon Go activates a mobile phone’s camera and location sensors (GPS) it could be exploited by hostile elements to locate Israeli military installations.
A further concern is that a number of look-alike apps have made their way into mobile app stores, and are being downloaded by millions who believe they are downloading Pokemon Go.
As a result, IDF officers and enlisted soldiers have been ordered not to play Pokemon Go while on base.
