Can Helium network be hacked? How to perform "Location spoofing"?

Описание: In this video, I have discussed the possibilities of how to hack the Helium network or rather exploiting the proof-of-coverage algorithm by location spoofing. The method might enable earning HNTs without providing real coverage. I have shown a few examples where faking locations might have been utilized to obtain a perfect reward scale and maximized witness. However, there are anti-gaming systems present and further being actively developed to penalize these hotspots' earnings.
