'Yo' has barely been a viral sensation for more than 24 hours, but it might have already been hacked.
Yo is a deliberately, mind-numbingly simple communications app, which allows you to send the same two-character message to anyone with the app installed.

Yo has now responded to the claims with the following Tweet:
