@programming I had asked a question regarding how could phones get possibly hacked, and this was the response I got. Is this a suitable forum for discussing about hacking and internet security ??

@Pissmidget well yes… A general technical overview of the mechanism of a mobile phone getting hacked… In a possible ELI5 manner 😁😁😁
Do you feel like you understand what “hacked” even means? If so: a phone is a little computer. If not… I donno. I guess you should give a bit more story about why you’re interested in “hacking” and yet know so little about it? Something that makes it more interesting to reply.
For basic questions, why wouldn’t you start with Wikipedia, which is an excellent resource? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_hacking
@Mniot if you get a message like this, what would you infer ??🤔🤔🤔
Your friend installed a malicious app. They should follow the instructions on the screen: stop and uninstall the app in question and then restart the phone.
And then your friend should be more discerning about what apps they install. Only install high-rated, widely-used apps from trustworthy sources.
That I’ve unwisely installed some bad software and I should delete it, as recommended.
That you installed an app named after PDFs which is doing screen sharing?
