G+_Marlon Thompson Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 The one tech angle no one seems to be discussing with this apparent astroturfing of reviews with the blackberry app is the fact that you have to download and install the app before you can review it. Did this happen or has the this ability been compromised by whoever coordinated these fake reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joseph Cappellino Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 This would explain the millions of downloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Marlon Thompson Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 But that would mean downloading to a ton of separate devices, running 4.0 either that or they paid real users money to do it. I really want to see the final results of this investigation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Richard Cohen Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Or it would mean people using emulator images with the gapps/Play Store installed... Or it means a few devices being regularly wiped and configured with new accounts... There are ways beyond lots of different devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Matt Lyons Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 And if this is a company doing it they will be good at whatever exploits are out there by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Marlon Thompson Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 Yeah and that's my point Matt Lyons how compromising are these exploits, should Google be doing more to secure the play store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
