@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 ??

People talk about security here occasionally, though there are places to discuss it. Also, bugs are the most common source of vulnerabilities (though social engineering is a much more common type of attack), so the response seems reasonable to me.

Regarding hacking, for white hat I believe there are communities, though I'd imagine there's overlap with cybersecurity communities. I don't know of, nor would I recommend, anything black hat.

You can write and read but you can’t use a search engine? Blocked btw.. wizard my ass

A quick search might answer your question, but at its core, it treats people as the vulnerability rather than anything software related.
