Is it correct to use black web, dark web and other hacking software in the world of hacking? . These are the questions to which I contacted more than forty hackers in Pakistan and outside Pakistan and tried to get answers. WhatsApp hacking is no longer a dream but any social media app whether it is Facebook, Instagram, Gmail and Google accounts can be hacked.

Most of the victims of hackers are small businesses, while cyber attacks are also the main target of hackers.

This attack is called wanacry ransomewhere. This attack affected many businessmen all over the world. Not only this, but after this attack, many organizations had to face many losses.
Hacking and hackers have gone a step further than just hacking important documents of businesses or institutions and started hacking the phones of companies. Android and iOS systems started getting hacked. The most frequently hacked smartphone is Samsung, while iPhone is second, Xiaomi is third, Huawei is fourth and LG phones are fifth. The rate of hacking of the last three smart phones is not low because their security system is very good, but the main reason for this is the low use of these phones. So far, according to the data, Verizon, AT&T, T Mobile, and Dish are the companies that have been the first target of hackers.
According to hackers, if they have trouble hacking any phone, it's Google phones, with the Pixel 6 series at the top. In August 2007, a seventeen-year-old boy, George Hotz, claimed that he had opened the security lock of the iPhone without a SIM, after which the series of hacking of the phones began. Here I will give a tip to my readers that if they dial the code *#21# on their iPhone, they can know how much their phone is under your control at that moment
According to a statistic, the iPhone is the most hacked phone by far. In this hacking, any hacker can directly access the iPhone, see the apps running in it, copy data, steal all the important things from the picture gallery, calendar and notebook. Hackers mostly use Safari to hack iPhone, or rather Safari is used as a gateway for iPhone hacking.
The hacking that started with the computer has reached the hacking of mobile phones through cyber attacks and now it has reached the hacking of other apps, especially WhatsApp. It is raising many questions.
Why do hackers hack WhatsApp? Is it just to get information or are there other purposes, if WhatsApp is a medium for information and communication then criminals will also use this medium for their own purposes.
Somewhere fake and false hackers have come in this field. There is now a long list of hackers and information sellers on social media who are fooling the common people by saying that they will provide accurate and truthful information. I saw the ads of some so-called hackers and tried to contact them, but there was nothing but lies and deceit. Pakistan has a cybercrime department, but so far the expected cybercrime benefits have not been realised.
According to a data, there were 8492 cases in Punjab in 2022-23, out of which the most cases were related to financial fraud.
If we talk about WhatsApp, then hacking this app is considered to be the most favourite at this time. So far, the data of 500 million users in more than 80 countries has been hacked and made public in WhatsApp hacking. WhatsApp hacking is considered as a very golden opportunity for earning. Because of its cost, a hacker earns anywhere from $10,000 to $3 million per year just from hacking WhatsApp.
Whether hacking is a crime or a moral turpitude is for governments and states to decide, but we have to decide whether those who commit it are making crores of rupees by defrauding the common people through public advertising, are they mafias, do they have Where do foreign sims and local easy paisa numbers come from? . If this is an organised crime, what steps have been taken so far to eradicate it? Can every fraud person cheat any simple person by becoming a hacker in the name of hacking? The answers to these questions must be given.
