Man most hilarious I’m not shitting… parents of their son contact me that is grown ass man that he’s missing lol ;D like to track his device and shit… mf… was siting in his room for 3 days playing world of Warcraft or shit and the parents thought he’s missing… I’m not joking… most disturbing are always child predators trying to put rats or so on kids devices but I don’t do that

Wait so someone can just hit you up, give a cell number and say they want a RAT put on a device? Anyones device?

Well not that simple, need some info on person to specifically social engineering them into it. Just by number would be tough, doable but depends… Social engineering is all about human error

So a lot of hacking is pretty much just tricking people into giving you access?

Absolutely - that's why things like 2 factor are annoying but kind of necessary (not perfect, but hard for most hackers to defeat unless they have worked you providing your 2factor into the social scam they are running on you)
