Hi everyone. My profile is closed since forever to avoid aggros, but recently I’ve noticed how around 50 stupid emoji-reactions appeared on my reviews, almost perfectly chronologically as if someone was scrolling my profile. It’s closed and all basic privacy checks show that it’s not accessible by just clicking somewhere or having a link. How is it possible otherwise? Reviews weren’t very close together geographically and were quite different, so finding them manually on maps wasn’t really possible. How could that creature sneak in? What should I check?

Hi @LexaZ2009
Yes, your Maps profile is restricted. And it is strange to have a lot of reactions in short succession.
My best guess is that someone gained access to your Google account. You may want to change your password and turn on two factor verification.
You could check if the reactions were made from your account by checking if you can undo the reactions from your account.

Definitely not mine. I would have noticed accessing my account long before, that’s for sure - this way or any other. My guess was “ghost subscriber” from the time before deactivation of the feature - but there were maybe 5 people and no one ever bothered me in years.
