[PSA] Don't run modded/untrusted fortnite APKs even with an alternate account, EPIC has been know to use hardware/IP ban to deter people from cheating and modding Posted: 09 Aug 2018 01:55 PM PDT Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 On computers there are many ways to bypass the bans, but with the number of identifiers a mobile device has like IMEI (Check Edit, they doI am not sure if they have the permission to read all these things, but seeing as how they are not bound by the rules of the play store they could implement such permissions without any oversight) bypassing a hardware/IP ban would be really difficult. So please only use trusted APKs whose signatures match the original. Edit: According to /u/HeN1N they have permissions for everything since they target the Lollipop API They have all permissions, apk targets Lollipop, that's the 2nd reason why Fortnite is not on the Play Store (due to Google limit for target APIs) submitted by /u/yash1610 [link] [comments]
