Discover free hackers for hire in 2025
Here are three ridiculously simple tips, based on my ten years of experience as a cybersecurity journalist
First of all, it is a scary world out there. Hackers are trying everything they can to get into your devices, be it your computers or phones. We hold a lot of personal information in these devices and also connect to our work servers, exchange emails and messages with our friends and use them for practically everything that our life depends on. Hence, just one foot inside your devices can give hackers a lottery ticket.
Unfortunately, we spend a lot of time trying out fancy software and gadgets, or trying to draw up strategies that will make us feel like some master cyber-whiz. In practical terms, securing your devices and making them over 90 per cent hack-proof is so, so simple.
Let me tell you what you can do on a daily basis.

Keep the auto-update feature on. Here’s why:
Your phone runs on software. The operating system — Android or iOS or Windows is a software. All the apps on your phone are software. Everything that keeps your phone running is a software. Any software has hundreds of weaknesses, called vulnerabilities in cybersecurity. These hide in the millions of lines of code and go unnoticed when the software is created.
Vulnerabilities are basically hidden entry points into your devices, which hackers can use to quietly slip inside.
For this same reason, the manufacturers of the software keep running tests on it to find these vulnerabilities. The minute these vulnerabilities or bugs are found, they develop a ‘cure’ for it, called a patch. These patches are released to all customers — as in you — in the form of software updates.
This is why you keep getting those annoying notifications: “Updates available, download now!”; “Updates downloaded, install now!”; “You have updates pending, take action now!” This is basically your device telling you that some more vulnerabilities have been found and you need to seal them off immediately. This is like your Head of Security telling you that a large hole has been found in the compound wall, and you need to approve repair work urgently. If you wouldn’t delay repairing your compound wall, why would you delay patching vulnerabilities in your computer or phone?
Hence, keep the auto update feature turned on, even if it depletes your battery or internet plan. Let the updates be downloaded to your device and install them immediately.
Congratulations, that one MAJOR entry point for hackers closed off.
2. Watch what you click
We come across thousands of links every day. Links to apps or websites that we need to access in our day to day life. Every so often, we click a link and nothing happens. Or it takes us to some random page that has nothing to do with what we were intending. We think it’s a glitch or an error, and we close the page and move on.
BUT, unknown to us, this is when malware — software created with malicious intentions — slip into our devices. Hackers send out links loaded with malware on a daily basis, in the form of promotional material. Discounts on premium goods, new websites, funny videos, supposed general knowledge… the list is endless.
These malware are programmed to steal your data in a variety of ways. They can quietly send your photos and videos to the hackers or keep a log of every key you hit, which helps figure out your passwords, or intercept your messages and convey them to the hacker. free hackers for hire
Never open links sent by unknown sources. Even if it is forwarded by someone you know, ask them if they trust the source.
And here’s a major tip: Hover the mouse pointer or cursor over the link to see the full URL. A good URL has the name of the concerned website followed by a generic suffix of that country, like <.in> or <.au>. If the preview is some long line of code or anything different that what the message claims to be, don’t open it. free hackers for hire
3. Check your app permissions
Every month, Google Play Story and Android App Store removed hundreds of malicious apps from its platforms. These apps look innocent. They are designed to look like text editors, photo editors, video editors, music players, time trackers, productivity enhancers etc etc. And they do perform this function to a certain extent.
But the real purpose of these apps is to steal your data. Unknown to you, these apps secretly exfiltrate (remove without your knowledge or consent) your sensitive data and convey them to the hackers. Such malicious apps are created and uploaded to legitimate app stores on a daily basis, so that people may be fooled into installing them. The app stores, too, keep checking all new apps and remove the ones found to be malicious, but by the time this action is taken, millions of people across the globe have already installed those apps to their devices, and the damage is done. free hackers for hire
A handy trick is to see what permissions the app asks for on installation. If it claims to be a music player app but asks for permission to access your photo gallery, stop and ask, why is that necessary? If the answer it, “it is not”, uninstall that app immediately. I promise you, you’ll find a legit app on the app store that does not ask for unnecessary permissions. free hackers for hire
I always say that cybersecurity is not some complex concept but rather a way of life. By inculcating these three habits in our daily behaviour, we can make our devices up to 90 percent hack-proof.
So start doing this today, and tell your friends and family too!
