These days it's pretty difficult to get malware on smartphones, most exploits are quickly patched by Google or Apple. "Bad actors" need to use zero-day exploits to get their malware onto devices and/or pay millions of dollars to use a tool like Pegasus onto someone's device. They're not going to waste that money on someone like you or I.
