Why do some mission pictures show up as a generic briefcase?
Hi,
Does anyone know why a small number of missions show a briefcase as the mission icon? I've seen it on two different mission banners. I grabbed this screenshot from ingressmosaik.com but they show up the same in the game.
This is a 6 banner mission near where I live but four of the missions have this weird briefcase picture
Thanks,
Karl

Many of us think it is a briefcase, however it is a padlock.
Pretty self explanatory, isn't?
It's a standard "no picture" when the original picture isn't available for some reason. I can contact the creator and asking to reupload it.
When the mission tool first opened to agents, you could submit a mission with no image. The placeholder for a mission with no image is a briefcase.
If the missions have been reported due to copyright or any offensive material, the image gets removed and the placeholder is used.
