Server communication in SN is encrypted, in SSHM it wasn't for a long time and the unencrypted communication is still possible alongside the encrypted one the game uses now.

The files on your devices are the same in both games, you can manipulate local files to send gifts to yourself, to others (SN much more limited than SSHM), you can easily manipulate the player.prf with your data to get gazillion of rubies or levels, all by getting past a simple encryption.

It needs only one person on a forum like this, to find out how to get into the file and then they pass it on to friends and so on. None of them would be able to hack devices, most probably not even the first person. The greatest idiot on earth could be told and would be able to level up hundreds of levels in a second.

And why should anyone start playing SN to find people who's devices they can hack?????? If they do then because you are here on the forum or any other forum, and they will not do it via the game but because you gave them an email address or other non-game stuff (or posted it here and it can be found till this whole Wiki is closed even when the post is deleted).

PS: I'm not the person who leveled up so fast, I'm the one who told several people here how to get into the files.
