Can an Android be hacked just with a link, or does it require downloads in some way?

I saw a news report today from the police in my country, which is like the CIA of the United States—a very competent police force—saying that just with a code sent via WhatsApp and email, they managed to hack a person’s phone, gaining access to their bank and all other apps. The victim’s phone became completely disabled; they couldn’t restart or do anything, it seems.
What could this be? There have been multiple reports of this type of attack. Is there anything similar on the market?

yea zero-click stuff like that is not unheard of... if you were thinking about obtaining one forget about it.

a zero-day like that would be huge bucks and usually reserved for nation states (ie paragon graphite). but good money if you manage to craft one.

I wouldn't call the CIA competent man....

Yes, this capability is definetly available to anyone with the right money. Just look at companies like NSO and the 0 day brokers like zerodium and crowdfense.
Lots of companies offer this to GOVT and private clients.

I believe that paragon was a whatsapp only exploit not a full system compromise, not 100% confident.

Shoutout to Pegasus!

there is a deadly IOS and Android hacking method called zero-click attack. Just opening a message is enough to get hacked; no need to click any link. One example is pegasus.
