@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 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.
