Ok, so I used to play a game where when people got hacked they would transfer everything, however in this game not 100% of everything was tradeable. They would delete those items.

So my point is, is there any protection from a hacker deleting our Yoworlds? If I understand right now when we un install our games everything is gone. Hackers aren't a nice bunch of people generally and if they can't access our account they will delete it to be miserable.

That's why people should not be giving out FB info. The YoPass only protects against those who want to invade your account and steal your items.

I don't see why people are so hacker scared! Don't give out your password. Don't give out your email. Don't add people who are fishy. Didn't BVG take care of hackers anyway?

This is for phishing links or if you have keyloggers. Where people get in your account after you click a link or have a keylogger on your computer.

BVG made Yoworld more secure but that doesn't mean they made it to were hackers could still exist in the game. Technology is always improving and that helps hackers. There will always be some sort of hackers in this game no matter what. If you have your yopass and your cellphone you will be safe. Someone isn't gonna be able to log into your account without the codes it would be very hard to be able to. This app makes it more secure for players.

"hackers" on yoville aren't exactly what you should be scared of. Sad fact is not everyone is internet savvy and might click a phishing link or keylogger, it happens everyday.

Also we can do our part, make a complex pass, hide our email, don't give out info but stuff still happens. Also occasionally a "real" hacker can access your account without your help, rarely but it happens. Bottom line though a lot of people play this game, and from fixing computers I can assure you not everyone knows how to stay internet safe

Other than protecting your login and password info be smart if it looks suspicious then delete! Dont click on any suspicious links!

You can uninstall and reinstall YoWorld on FB, and it doesn't delete a thing..
I have done it a few times myself.
