Implicate Republican in mobile getting hacked (7)
I believe the answer is:
embroil
'implicate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'republican in mobile getting hacked' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'republican' could be 'r' (abbreviation) and 'r' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'mobile' is 'emboil' which is within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for embroil that I've seen before include "Involve (a person) in some sort of trouble" , "Drag in - bole rim (anag)" , "Involve (someone) in trouble" , "Involve deeply (in a difficult situation)" , "Involve in argument or quarrel" .)
