I received vulgar push notifications from Bykea regarding Pakistan.

Did someone receive an offensive notification from Bykea around 12:00? I was at home, watching my favorite series on Netflix. Suddenly, the bykea notification popped up, shockingly abusing Pakistan. I was too stunned to speak for a few minutes and I showed it to my wife. We couldn’t believe our eyes. We decided to share it in a group with friends, to see if anyone knew about this and it turns out some Indian hackers got hold of the popular app. We were shocked, the vulgar notification, surely conveyed it is an act of hatred towards our country. To think of it, app like Bykea in Pakistan, would not risk their reputation by pulling something like this. Since the notification popped up, the topic “ Bike ride-hailing app hacked in Pakistan” has gone viral on social media! What do you guys think? Was it really Indian hackers or a cheap stunt pulled by the app.

To be honest, this is quiet concerning. Bykea should make sure that their system is secured. And as you described the scenario, seems like a job of the neighboring company! Its a shame that we can't put up a secure connection on our popular websites and apps.
