Can Someone Hack my Phone by Texting me?
Suppose you get a few text messages from an unknown sender that contains links. Your device will likely become infected with malware or hacked if you click on these links.
It would be harmless to just open the message, but if you click on those suspicious links it might take you to some malicious websites.
Some links lead to malicious pages, such as the Nbryb web page, which are designed to trap you and gain control over your computer.
Clicking on malicious links can harm your device and make it more vulnerable to malware - don't do it!
Hackers also use text messages as a medium to send too-good-to-be-true offers imitating companies. These offers are just scams and are sent to initiate malicious tasks.
Though it is tough to send a text capable of hacking a phone, the receiver has to be aware of the message in order to work.
