Android Yik Yak Attack - Geolocation Spoofing

Yik Yak for Android does not require networks location to be enabled and still works when Allow mock locations is enable, therefore giving way to the ability to spoof your location with applications like Fake Location Spoofer Free. Also, without location throttling, which Yik Yak currently does not seem to implement, you can switch from New York to Los Angeles in an instant and still be able to Yak, Reply and vote.

This does not require root access on the Android device. You must enable Allow mock locations in Developer settings and set the Location mode to Device sensors only (GPS only). While there are applications that do not require these changes to be made, they all most likely require root access.
