Hello,
For the past 14 days I’ve been reading a lot about hacking cell phones remotely. We’ve written everywhere that it’s not that easy, but when I go to Dark Web Hackers it’s offered to you for $700 and the site is fake because it’s relatively cheap. On the page you also read you can go to the info page for more information but there is no link there

There’s a few different ways, but $700 won’t get you access to all the options.
Phishing - Most likely what they’re doing for $700. If they can get the victim to reveal their passwords or credentials to something, they can likely pivot around until they get access to something like iCloud or IG.
Sim-swaps - They’ll either call and socially engineer some phone company help desk person to swap the sim of a phone OR they’ll have an insider at a T-Mobile store (malicious staff or just someone who grabs the manager tablet and runs out).
0-days - lol. Unless you’re ready to drop at least $1M, you’re not gonna have access to this. It can potentially open the whole device up, though.
SS7/SIP Compromise - Even less likely, because those with access won’t wanna burn it for only $700. Basically, it’s an infiltration of the global phone network that would allow for location tracking and potentially intercepting messages/calls.
