"Pokemon Go" is the apple of the eye among hackers. On Reddit, a redditor revealed that some players are taking advantage to use an egg, which was reported glitched the game, thus making some players unbeatable during the battle in the gyms.

Lucky eggs that players will get in the PokeStops, will eventually become Pokemons in their own. However, they need to wait a bit of incubation, which requires some steps to make the eggs hatched.

However, in this case, a redditor revealed that "Someone is placing eggs in gyms and they cant be taken down." Some players found out that these eggs have no moves, and they have no HP, and once a glitched egg goes on a gym, it cannot be defeated nor dethroned.

The reported glitched eggs appeared in New York City, London, and everywhere. Most eggs were placed by the same person, Gizmodo reported. According to the publication, the eggs in the "Pokemon Go" cannot be released, however, Netops found out that these eggs have ID numbers just like monsters, so it means these can be deployed to gyms as well.

The player who's behind placing the eggs in the gyms used Python-based API from Github, an Android emulator, and a "sniping" script, in order to send requests to Niantic to deploy the eggs to gyms, that's why he got the gym's ID.

While many "Pokemon Go" players got pissed about what this player did, Netops said this man did it as a simple prank.

"I attempted to remove all eggs from the gyms they where deployed to last night," he said.

Meawhile, another hacker sent thousands of SMS messages to North American, inviting them to visit such sites, which were malicious, Adaptive Mobile reported. The malicious goes like this, pokemonpromo[.]xxx.
