"The Pin move attack is resolved. Google Business Profile has internally fixed the ability for map users to cause suspensions via an attack on merchants by moving the map pin." - Ben Fisher, Google Business Profile Expert
"I am not sure what took so long but I am glad to hear it is fixed. I did not try the exploit to double check it is really fixed, I didn't want to cause any issues."
"We first reported about the issue back in March 2024 and then realized a few months later that this was a serious exploit. Spammers were hijacking the location of businesses on Google Maps."
"This has now been fully fixed. To be clear this is just an update from the GBP team it is permanently fixed now." - Ben Fisher
