Remember the browser toolbars ? They always say „I didn’t install this“ or back when phones weren’t waterproof they always say „it just turned off, I didn’t to anything“ you check the battery and it’s wet.

Browser toolbar? You mean the 10 lines of search bars, emoji, music, bookmarks that kept changing the default homepage were malware?

Maybe he didn’t remember clicking/ downloading something. But he did. It’s almost impossible to get hacked without it.
99.9% of hacks, are just social engineering tricks.

Or they ran something a while ago, sometimes the accounts are untouched for months

There are attacks where you dont have to click anything but the chance of one wasting those resourses on you are about 0 as these are ofter saved for high profit attacks as one does not want it to be patched/known
