There was a bug in a math library that Ingress used. If you managed to hit just the right set of conditions, including three portals in a straight line and throwing the links in the right direction, Ingress would draw a very tiny sliver field but calculate the MU for the "outside" triangle. I unknowingly did this one morning and Ingress calculated the MU as though I'd covered the entire earth and it used the population density of Oakland California to do it. I wasn't the first to stumble across the bug, but I was (almost) the last.
Niantic "fixed" the bug by moving one of the portals a few feet. A couple of my friends searched the map and found another set of portals that would work. They each threw the field then immediately Jarvised it so that it wouldn't count for the global MU, then went to Niantic and said, "Hey guys, you need to fix this properly." I've chatted with the developer who patched the server that evening. The library was later fixed properly.
