Internet cracksmen say that they committed the crime in the name of Brazil as there was no official launch of Pokémon Go in the country.
Each of their posts was accompanied with the hashtag #PokemonGo4Brazil.

According to other malefactors, Niantic Labs’ password “nopass” was so simple that it was not difficult to hack it. Well, they know better. They are hackers after all!
