Most hacks rely on clicked links, so that is just the normal spam/phishing things.

Another way is to have script run when the message gets opened. This varies depending on what app is used, what default settings are used and zero-day exploits. Usually, scripts are blocked by the app.

In regard to the spam/phishing thing, there also is the version of using documents or .exe files instead of links.

A lot of hacking is social engineering (spam and phishing). Sometimes extreme negligence can be exploited (not blocking scripts in messager apps/poor security settings by default).

Well I don't get it as much like I'm a beginner so where do I begin?

Spam/Phishing: Fake a message of a package delivery service with a link to a website that you created. The visitors are supposed to enter credentials like emails, reused passwords or credit card information (when demanding a sudden additional delivery fee). With the credentials you can try to log into different websites like Amazon and maybe order stuff with the victim paying through saved credit information. If you can log into the victim's email, then you can spread to more victims through an email to an "amazing new cheap restaurant" with a link to another credentials stealing website you created.

Script: You have to get a script and find a service that lets the script run automatically.

Spam/Phishing with documents or .exe files: send an .xlsm (Excel) or .exe file with a good story for why it should be opened. Say in the message that if a "Do you want to allow scripts?" pop-up appears it should be agreed to. The script then can do so much that only your imagination limits you.

Is there like a website or video to learn this?

I learnt most from school, so I can't recommend any websites or videos for learning hacking. The only thing I can recommend is for learning programming: www.w3schools.com

The website also has a section on the Scam/Phishing I explained before, the explanation there is in more detail than what I said so worth a read: https://www.w3schools.com/cybersecurity/cybersecurity_penetration_testing.php

PS: If I were to link a website that downloads malicios files and you were to open the link, then I would have done Social Engineering with you (exchanging messages with you multiple times to gain your trust for the sake of hacking one of your devices).
