There was a link I was sent and I stupidly clicked it. I did it in incognito in safari, but i don’t think that makes much of a difference. In that link, even though it looked sketchy, I clicked a button that said “enter” because i was very naive. right as i clicked it, i decided to close out of the tab, which i did, but it probably still loaded even though I didn’t see anything. I got scared that something had happened and after about searching for 7 minutes i turned my phone into airplane mode. it was probably useless by that time, but i did it anyways and then continued to clear all my history and block cookies. i don’t know the link, but it ended in “.ga” which seemed sketchy. usually i would think that safari is pretty safe and that it would show me some pop up of some sorts if it was really bad, but i know it’s not perfect. i just want to know if there’s anything i should be worried about and if i need to do something. i didn’t enter any information, but i’m a bit uneducated on the topic so i dont know what they could take. thanks.
