@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 ??

Your original post was in c/linuxmemes , found here. Your follow-up question about phone security was a comment under that post. Although someone passing by might happen to be a senior pentester with a major mobile OS vendor, that is a community for posting funny memes.

To ask the commenters at-large there for a detailed, well-elucidated answer to "how does phone hacking work?" is to expect too much.

Fortunately, this is Lemmy so you just have to find the right community to ask, and to set your expectations accordingly.
