Yo is an interesting application, but interestingly not planted because of the features, but because Yo is considered the most simple (simple). In contrast to the common use of messaging applications on offer, to use Yo do not require lengthy application process. Not even asked to input your email address. It takes only downloaded apps in Google Play or iTunes App. Furthermore, simply create a username and invite some friends send messages through social networking accounts. Of course, the opponent must also send a message using Yo.
As the name implies, the message sent is also super simple. To say hello in any context, the text that appears only in the form of "Yo" in the receiver display.
Hacked A few days after his fame, Yo exposed situation even worse. Because this application has been hacked by a group of students from Georgia Tech. In an email received by TechCrunch (20/06/2014), the hackers send the message contains, "We can get the phone number of each user Yo (I actually texted to the founder, and he called me back). We can make jokes of all users Yo, and we can send a lot of spam Yo. We can also send a push notification with the text as much as we want (although we decided not to do that).
When reached for comment about the case of this threat, which is represented by the Yo Arbel Or did acknowledge that the application is experiencing a "security issue" and they take it very seriously. Currently, Arbel entrust the handling of the problem of hacking the security team.
On the other hand, trivial Yo burglarized is also shown by the person named Shubham Datta. In a posting on Yo, he claims to have managed to steal the username ElonMusk (CEO of PayPal and Tesla Motors), and began to try to deceive other users by way of masquerading as the real Elon Musk.
