Yes, it is a crime. If an adult hacks a minor’s phone by sending unsafe links, it amounts to cybercrime under the Information Technology Act, 2000, and also invites provisions of the POCSO Act for exploiting a child. The offender can face strict legal punishment. For further legal assistane contact us on our helpline number.
