So I came across this site called Rent-A-Hacker and they state that "I will do anything for money, i'm not a pussy. If you want me to destroy some business or a persons life, i'll do it!" This seems like a definite scam but it did get me thinking that is it even possible with what he stated that" i can ruin them financially and or get them arrested, whatever you like.
If you want someone to get known as a child porn user, no problem."
So the question is: Can someone with advance hacking skills be able to perform this task. If so, what ways can you protect yourself from being a victum of this?
Thanks!

what you are talking about is probably one of the greatest myths of hacking:
targeted hacking isn't a real thing unless you are an intelligence agency. for the simple reason that there isn't much money to be made by hacking a single person and there is no magic bullet to hack anyone. Most normal people have very few attack surfaces apart from their social media and online accounts. wifi routers basically only allow traffic from inside a home network outside not the other way around and most home computers & mobile phones do not run vulnerable server applications on the regular. the only real way to "hack" a normal person is to somehow get a hold of their account info for email/social media/banking. this is usually done via phishing.
and phishing is an attack with a very low probability of success (you could get into a discussion about the efficacy of spear phishing but that's beside the point). most hacks on single persons require those ppl to click on a link or open a malicious document and you can't promise that anyone will do that (or the credentials get leaked on a forum like this one).
ways to protect yourself from that:
1) use a different password for each account (prevents danger from leaks)
2) use secure passwords (download a password manager, don't use cloud password managers that's a retarded idea)
3) keep track of who you know and what kinds of emails you expect. only open emails that you are expecting or that come from a trusted address
4) if you need to open email attachments, like pdf's, feel free to upload them to virustotal first for a quick check. also, you can open them on a separate device/in a VM to be 100% sure. when you are being asked to click a link, hover over it with your mouse, your browser will display the actual direction of the link. if that direction is fishy, don't click it
5) keep a low profile on social media (or don't use it at all) most spear phishing attacks require research about the victim and that is usually done by checking their social media
6) use different browsers for different tasks. browsers usually hold a bunch of cookies (login information) to the websites that you use. if your browser ever gets compromised by going on a malicious site, it would be a shame if they got a hold of all your cookies. so use browser A to do your sensitive tasks, such as banking, official emails, etc and use browser B to go to "dirty" websites (gaming, porn, 4chan, anything else) the reason for this is that less legitimate sites usually have to take money from shady ad agencies and those shady ad agencies sometimes put out ad banners with malicious javascript inside.
7) NEVER EVER download or use cracked software, unless you cracked it yourself. that is one of the easiest ways to get full system access, as I'm sure many ppl on this forum can tell you. or use it on a separate device, of course.
8) keep any device you use well-updated, ofc
9) you might wanna start using linux as your main operating system, it gets rid of like 90% of all malware dangers for you.
